Just installed components - computer power turns on but won't post

[PaulPenno]

Hi I've just installed these components:

1 x Aerocool Integrator 700W Power Supply
1 x Gigabyte 4GB G1 GAMING RX480 AMD Graphics Card
1 x AMD FX-8350 4.00GHz (4.20GHz Turbo) 8x Core Proces
1 x GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 AMD 760G (Socket AM3+) Micro Motherboard

into my old computer shell. I've kept my old 1TB Hard drive. My old PC was an HP Pavilion p6-2120ea. I'm also using my old RAM stick which is a 4GB 1333MHz Non-ECC Unbuffered 2Rx8 HYNIX Memory HMT351U6CFR8C-H9 ( link to specs here: http://www.memoryamerica.com/hmt351u6cfr8c-h9.html )

I've got 2x 4GB HyperX FURY DDR3 1866 MHz RAM sticks on the way.

All connections seem to be in the right place - CPU fan, power supplied to all parts of motherboard, power and reset button etc. The only thing not connected is a system fan but PCs are supposed to be able to boot without that anyway. Any suggestions?

With or without my graphics card connected it doesn't seem to post.

What revision is it. It may need a BIOS update. Depending on the revision of the mobo

Did you connect the ATX12v as well?

There's more than 1 revision of that mobo. Look on the mobo. What rev is it?

If you get it to post, do a clean install. If the hdd is from another system

Did you put a speaker on the header on the mobo?? Have you tried putting the ram in different slots?

Still can't get it to post. Put my PSU on my old motherboard with my old CPU and RAM, and that posted after booting.

Haven't put a speaker on mobo as I don't have one. Do I need a speaker for it to post? Yes, I've put RAM in diff slots to no avail.

Could be the 4 GB ram you installed. Wait for the Fury ram. See if that works

No you dont need the speaker, but it'll tell you by the beeps if it beeps what the prob is / maybe

Got the RAM today, it hasnt worked unfortunately. Ok I might go get a speaker. Cheers. Still have no idea what to do. Been breadboarding all night

I believe my motherboard or CPU is faulty and I have sent an email to the company who sold me them
