Hello all!

I'm building a new computer with this components:

Intel Core-i5 3350P
AS Rock PRO4-M LGA1155
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (CML8GX3M2A1600C9)
XFX RADEON Double D R9 280X
OCZ 700w PSU

But, upon the installation of the motherboard, ATX 8-pin conector, the memory and the PSU, I got a 5 beep with no signal from the monitor.

Also reinstalled the CPU and Heatsink, without luck.

How to fix this issue?
 
Solution
5 beeps when you first boot the computer usually means a CPU failure, possible causes for this are the CPU is incorrectly fit or the pins have been bent on CPU installation. Make sure also the 4/8 pin ATX power lead is connected to the board (thats the most likely cause). If it is then remove the CPU and look for ant bent pins, if there is you can carefully straighten them using a small jewelers screwdriver or similar tool.

Yes, the 8 pin ATX power lead is connected.

Let me check if there is any bent pins.

Inspected the CPU and MOBO, but the is none bent pins.

The serial number of the MOBO is: 41M0XE040482. And the part number is 90-MXGLM0-A0UAYZ.

Maybe the BIOS revision does not supports my CPU?
