Hi there, i have recently just built my new pc and im haveing a problem getting it running

.

I have a q6600
Asus pk5 delux motherboard
OCZ reaper 4gb ram
Radeon 3870 X2 graphics card

Everything seems to start up fine all fans going and can keep it running,BUT...

First time useing a monitor I had a messesege on screen about the appripriate drivers not being installed.

After that i don't have any visual on screen what so ever.
Also I do not get any beeps what so ever, so I guess that means it isen't POSTing.

I have tried removeing the battery for a good length of time but no luck.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

I have not got chance to install windows yet, was just a error massege that appered, will try installing 1 stick of memory and see how that goes.

I have the 8 pin lead plugged in checked that.

Thanks for the help so far, will post how the memory goes.

*update* I have tried useing 1 memory module but no luck with no visual at all.
Still as said not heard any beeps at all on startup. Any more sugestions welcome

Hi there I was just reading up on forums about the problem, so I have a clearer idea about what is happening. but it seems strange I can't even seem to get a beep with no memory in it. so im wandering maybe to just RMA the board.

I can't find any other problems, surely I should have some sort of beeps.
Anyone think of any reason my part I would not be getting a beep.

currently I don't have my memory in to try the theory of getting it to post
