No POST BEEP

[Zephyz]

Hey, I've got a problem, I've recently got these parts:

PSU:500W
MOBO: ASUS P8h61 usb-300
RAM: 1 x 8GB
CPU: i3-2100

I hear no POST Beep, no video

Why is this?

Does it actually turn on fine? Or totally dead? Couldn't work it out from your post

I replaced a few things recently and now I don't get any beeps on startup when I used to get one :S

Basically it turns properly I hear the fans kicking in the CPU fans work there's a green light on the motherboard. I put in the VGA cable and it recognizes it but doesn't produce anything on the screen.

Might want to try resetting the bios by taking out the on board battery & changing jumper pins etc. More detailed info should be in your motherboard instruction book.

PS. Do you have a graphics card?

Yes but im trying to fix the onboard graphics, so im not using the graphcis card

Do you think it's because I'm using 1x8gb RAM. I heard ASUS mobo dont support above 4gb at inital setup?

I am curious to why you brought 1x8gb stick of RAM in the first place?, surely it cost more than a 2x4gb kit.

Anyways, I have not encountered that problem before however if this is the case do you have access to some more DDR3 ram ie. from a friends computer just to pass the initial setup?

Although personally I would return the 8gb stick back to your retailer and buy a 2x4gb kit as you can make use of dual channel this way.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago, turns out it was the rams. I'd suggest you take out the rams and try each ram out at a time on the same slot and turn your p.c on.

Thanks the problem was the RAM. Will get a 2x4gb ram kit. The 1x8gb was a gift from someone.
