Amd Winnie 3200
Asus a8n-sli premium
Tagan TG480-U01 480W ATX2.0
x1800xt 256mb
1 X 1gb corsair pc3200
WD 250GB IDE HD
NEC DVD-RW
audiy2 zs

anyway have connected it all up - when i turn on power supply, motherboard light is on
when i turn pc on, CPU and GFX fans start spinning away
DVD-RW light flashes for a bit
but thats it - theres no beep or anything, and nothing on the minitor - monitor just stays in standby
have tried putting in my other SATA HD which already has windows installed, but same thing - nothing appears on screen, and dont hear any beeps or HD making any noises at all, just blank

what can it be? any suggestions?

thanks

Re seat Video card, CPU and RAM.

Then try RAM in different combinations of slots.

Remove excess hardware like hard drives and opticals. Run with 1 stick of RAM and try it in different slots

Reset the cmos on the motherboard.

tried resetting cmos - same thing happens

when i turn on the PC, i can feel the IDE hard drive spinning away, but still nothing happens at all, no beeps at all

when i plug in my sata HD which has windows on it etc...i cant feel it spinning...

have tried putting in my cpu - still same thing - and moving ram around makes no difference

any ideas?

someone must have an idea of whats wrong when literally nothing happens when you turn on the pc...no beeps or anything, just fans spinning....

also just wondering - the beeps you normally here when you POST, where do they come from? the motherboard? ie i dont need to plug any wires in for it?

Have you tried the monitor on the other port on the gfx card?

Have you plugged in the 4pin 12v connector?

ok i took out the sound card and plugged in speakers in the on board sound card, then booted, and heard a voice saying failed memory check. seems these boards have a problem with corsair memory, so i put in the geil memory, tried it in a different slot, and it worked woo

BUT

now it just hands at the bios screen...where it says press del to enter setup, and when i do...it says 'entering setup' and just hangs...
