Just bought a New 600w Power Supply, AM3 CPU, Asus ,AM3+ mobo, 2 GB of PNY Ram, and a new 18 inch height Case....all from new egg...put them all together and what do you get? Black screen when evertyhing boots up...im really confused because i would like to use my on board video card instead of having to plug into my video card...but the VGA plug-in in the I/0 panel is a female plug-in...not a male...I do not know if all these new peices of hardware will boot up brand new together...never having seen each other before...i'm so confused on what to do...plz help

Also my CPU is not getting even slightly warm...when the mobo light is on and everything is running but the CPU is Cold as could be...and yes I have a heatsink but i pulled it off when i knew something was going wrong...plz help

I would start by double checking all of your connections to mainboard, specifically, those from power supply to motherboard, including 'cpu aux power' from PSU to mainboard. If using a GPU, you also need to be sure it has it's external power input(s) from PSU connected as well...

At this point, you are not really 'booting up', you are merely trying to POST and get a display so you can can get into the BIOS to configure....

The motherboard has a tiny built-in speaker; about 1/2" diameter and 1/4" high; plugged in on two motherboard pins. It really does not look like a speaker at all. This will be activated during a successful POST and output a short single beep. This is the POST beep.

This speaker is a tiny one, easily missed; it looks like a black cylinder with a tiny hole in the center. The 8-pins header that you are seeing is for the front panel audio (headphones, mic); very different from the 2-pin mobo speaker header. On some motherboards, this speaker is installed on the mobo, and an extra one may be included in the motherboard package. Its function is to provide the POST beep, and also other beeps which are the error beeps per beep codes from your motherboard (and BIOS) manufacturer; for trouble-shooting purposes.

what do you mean by discrete and i am not trying to argue with you but i really wanna know what the ports on the back I/0 panel are lol there are those two...and idk what they are for...projector maybe? so to see a monitor PERIOD! my comp needs to be connected to a Video Card like my ATI Radeon HD 4650 that i have already plugged in? lol if that is true i feel a lot better and i am about 99% sure that it is my CPU that has a factory defect...

The Com port could be used for an antique (Legacy) computer mouse.
The LPT (Parallel Port) was used for old computer printers etc like back in the 1980's and 1990's era.
One could also network computers using those old ports as well.
Rarely if ever used today.

The Radeon HD 4650 graphics card IS a discrete graphics card rather than Integrated (on (the motherboard built in) board graphics.If you had a bad graphics card (and it can happen) one could try out a different known working graphics card instead.

Also are you sure you have all the proper connectors hooked up on your motherboard correctly?

Did you remember to hook up BOTH the Main power supply connector AND the ATX/EPS 12V CPU connector to your motherboard as a hint.
How about all the other connectors too?

yes i have my 4 pin plugged into the 4pin next to the CPU and i have my 20+4 pin plugged into the motherboard...but what i am concerned with is that my mobo's CPU HSF plug in has 4 pins...but my heatsink only needs 3...so if there is a safety feature that makes sure a HSF is on...but idk...but what i do know is that i am looking for a local person with an AM3 mobo to test my CPU
