New machine fails startup, no BIOS or video

[SgtNebz]

I just started building a new PC, I have it in an outside the box build. I have hooked everything up and nothing happens when I turn the power on. I get a long beep followed by 2 short beeps.

And yes I have tried the guide here

And you tried booting with no GPU and only one stick of RAM?

1 long beep followed by 2 short usually indicates a video error. Try re-seating the video card for a third time just to be sure, then maybe try and find another video card to test and diagnose whether your video card is dead or if it's the PCIe slot.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the FX-8320 has integrated graphics. He might be kind of screwed unless he can borrow a friend's graphics card or something.

 

[utgotye]

You are correct, my mistake on that front. If he has no way of verifying that the card isn't DoA, he's screwed.

Have you tried both PCIe x16 slots? I had a Z97 mobo that had a dead slot but otherwise worked fine.

 

[SgtNebz]

I have tried both PCIe x16 slots on it. I might have a graphics card that I can try to boot it with. Will let you all know. Thanks for the feedback!

Found an extra video card and used that and it booted! Thanks for the answers!
