hi thanks for replying. ive had it out the case and on a cardboard box. i unplugged everything except cpu and started there but no beeps. im hoping the cpu isnt fried or damaged. ive been told 3 things off different people, rams dead but surely mobo would beep? cpu is dead but how, i didnt touch it. mobo is faulty, i could have disturbed something .
 
ok so had it in the pc shop today and they've found the problem and its the motherboard its dead . the mobo was about a year old so thats me put off asrock. has anybody had any experience with any of these boards?

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P

Asus M5A97 R2.0

MSI 970A-G46
 
hi guys thanks for replys. im not sure about warranty but will be getting in touch with asrock, ive found a few threads related to the same board and problem. has anybody done overclocking on these boards. i know im not going to get big overclocks at this price range. i had the fx 6300 running at 4.2ghz on the asrock with no problems. ive had 2 gigabyte mobos and they didnt let me down, but that was well over 5 years ago.
