The motherboard will usually beep an error code and give up before reaching the POST screen.

Imagine having a car with no transmission. How will the force from the engine crankshaft be transmitted to the wheels to move the vehicle? It won't! Same principle only slightly different with your computer. See, the hard drive(H.D.) needs some way to temporarily place the information that the computer H.D. sends out to the various components as well as receives from the said parts to know what is and isn't working properly. Plus, every time you type a document, do an email, access the Internet or play a CD/DVD, that info needs a place to stay temporarily. It can't go to the H.D. unless it's a permanent install, otherwise the H.D. will burn out very quickly(think leaving toast in the toaster for about ten minutes! That's how fast it can burn out!!). Plus, RAM helps the computer to operate even faster and process more stuff at one time than with less RAM! The more RAM a computer has, the better!

It just won't boot.
Checking whether the PC (or notebook) has RAM is just part of the boot up process. If there is no RAM, the boot process won't get past POST and it will just hang beeping at you. The actual beep code will depend on the motherboard.

It will fail the Power On Self Test, and depending on the manufacturer, it will emit beep codes
