Am doing a home build, had everythign set up out of case to do a test boot. After powering it up i got a silent speaker. I went through all the steps in the troubleshooting thread.

After pulling all the parts out but the CPU i did get a post beep, three long ones indicating a memory issue. After pulling it out and retrying in differnet slots, or one at a time i continued to get silent post beeps with the memory.

SO i ran down to the local FRYs electrionics to get more memory, popped them in and got the same issue of silence.

So is this a MOBO issue, i did get the initial post beeps, or is it a memory issue?
