Computer won't boot! HELP!

[Taison]

Hey!
I bought an Intel DH67BL motherboard, and a i3-3220 cpu. I have a 350 Watt PSU.
I connected everything,turned it on,only to have the PSU fan turn a bit(2 seconds max),the cpu fan does half a spin,then nothing...there's a green light coming from the board,and after several tries,the pc booted,but gave me 3 beeps(I know it's probably ram,but i placed it well in the 4 sockets...yet nothing). PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
Can you test a different power supply? Take also the board outside the case and test it there.

I don't have another power supply...do you think I should try some more or just let a pro handle it? because i'm afraid i'll damage it

 

[Taison]

And do you think there are compatibilty issues? or bios version update required?

If you know someone, then yes, it would be better.
From the CPU Support list, the 0150 version is needed http://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?BoardName=DH67BL

Is there any way to find out what version is on the MoBo? and do you think i might have damaged anything? or the fact that it turned(the fan) even a bit,means it's still fine?

With Intel boards, I think that you should contact their support and they should be able to find the manufacture date based on the serial.
Hard to say what's wrong. I would try though to take the board outside the case, put it on its cardbox, remove the CPU and inspect the CPU socket.
Then, if no bent pins, reinstall the CPU and the CPU fan and start the board. See what beeps pattern you get.
Next, power off, insert only one RAM stick, power on and check again the beeps. If still the same pattern, then I would know it's either a RAM or a board or a CPU issue.
Does the power supply have a 4/8 pin power cable?

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh67bl.html?wapkw=dh67bl
Support for DDR3 1333/1066 MHz DIMMs 1.5v
One PCI Express* 2.0 x 16 discrete graphics card connector
The 12v connector is 4 pin, the motherboard power connector is 24 pin.

The 350 PSU would be enough if you don't have a video card and only use the onboard video out for the display.
