Hello everyone. I'm in the process of building a PC and need some help.
I had all the parts hooked up and ready, but when I press the power button, only the fans and lights turn on. There is no POST beep sound of any kind. And nothing displays on my monitor.
I disconnected both the RAM and graphics card and tried it again. Same problem. No beep but fans and lights come on.
I don't think it's a motherboard problem because I can see one of the lights come on when I plug in the power supply (but don't turn on the PC).
I doubled checked that the CPU is in the right way. The included CPU cooler has thermal paste on the bottom, but I added some small blobs just to be sure. One other thing I tried was to take out the cmos battery and hold in the power button to try and discharge static electricity. Still nothing.
So here I am, stumped. Does anybody know what I should try next? Thanks in advance.
This is an Intel i7cpu with Asus motherboard
