I need help pls
i recently built a computer about 2 hours ago for the first time. i think everything is in where it should be so i turn it on and expect it to show on my hd tv yet it doesn't. it does not even make the beep noise like when you first start a computer, so i open it up and notice that there is no speaker wire coming from my cm690 case. i dont know whether there is one on my motherboard. i also have the all the right wires for my tv.

can anyone suggest how i fix this because i cant do the bios wthout it displaying on my tv.

my specs are

q6600
8800gts 512mb
2gb ram
p35c-ds3r gigabyte mobo
artic 7 fan
550w corsair psu
160gb hdd
20x lg dvd

and when i start it up all of the fans and ligts are going even the one on the gpu, just no display on a monitor or on my hdtv, i dont think my mb has an onboard speaker nor does my case.

edit:i just took the ram out and there was a slight beep, but still no signal

Have you just plugged the monitor in only to see if it fires up?

Have you also mounted the motherboard onto the backplate with all the brass screws on the backplate first so the motherboard does not touch it?

yes and yes

Try with 1 stick of RAM at a time and see if you get into the bios.

Could be one faulty stick.
