I don't know ACPI/APM, so can't help much. I did read recently a comment that a good motherboard's Power-On Self Test will beep a certain code if it is booted with its CPU (or maybe other parts?) missing, giving a clue as to whether the problem is the CPU or not. I'm guessing that if it does nothing with the CPU and beeps without the CPU, then you suspect the CPU first, but if it does nothing without the CPU, you suspect other things first. But what you suspect first depends on how easy it is for you to get a temporary or permanent replacement for it.
