Beep

Okay, so I have been building my new computer all weekend and this is getting annoying.
Every time I turn on my computer it beeps once and a red light turns on also. Please help I don't want to send everything back to newegg.

most computers give one beep to tell you there posting fine. if your mb is an asus mb. check that the bios is up to date. a lot of new mb wont post and give you the red cpu/red ram led at post if the cpu or ram code for the bios is to low. some asus mb have a usb flashback port that with a usb stick you can flash the bios. if your mb does not try pulling all the ram but one stick and see if it post. make sure the mb not shorting out to the mb tray (no stand offs) and that the 4/8 pin pci power is connected. on some asus mb if the aftermarket heat sink is put on to tight it can cause issues.
