First time computer tinkerer here... I have been struggling to rebuild my old Dell... I finally have all the parts, and have (hopefully) put it all together correctly.
So, I hooked it up to my monitor, keyboard, and mouse and fired it up.
All the lights came on the motherboard, the fans started blowing, and it beeped! Then she beeped again... and again. A set of three. Then another set of three... and another, and another, etc... It didnt stop with the sets of three. Also, the monitor remained blank.
I opened up the disc tray and popped in the disc that came with my motherboard... no change.
The monitor was fine... I turned it on prior to turning on the computer and the manufacturer screen came on just like it is supposed to.
Motherboard - Intel DX58OG
CPU - Intel LGA 1366 i7 - Coolermaster Hyper N520
GPU - MSi Twin Frozr GTX 660
PSU - Rosewil 12 volt something or other
Case - Antec 300
The RAM (all samsung, 4 sticks @ 1gb and 2 sticks @ 2gb), Hard Drive, and Disc Drive are all original to my old Dell and I am not sure what exactly they are. The CPU is also original to the Dell.
Please Help!
(For the Mods - I have a couple other threads all dealing with this build.... if they need consolidation I apologize, but they have been a long time in between and they deal with such different issues... )
