No booting, no post,

[saxcephas]

Hello, tomshardware community i need your help to solve this problem. My desktop is not booting, also when i turn it up the motherboard dosnt beep, just flash three red leds on the motherboard, (Video, Ram and CPU).

I couldnt fine any information on the owners manual about what does three led flashes mean.

This is the desktop description:

MB: Sabertooth x58
CPU: INTEL core i7-920 SLBEJ COSTA RICA 2.66GHZ/8M/4. 80/08 3912B373
RAM: 2GB PC3 10666 8-8-8 1.60v Intel XMP Edition PN: OCZ3X1333LV6GK
VIDEO: GTX 570
PSU: corsair TX750W
Single radiator Hydro Corsair Series

I looked up the manual and installed the 3 dimms three DIMMs triple channel operation on A1, B1, C1, nothing happens, same 3 red lights no beep. two dimms A1 and B1, and sigle channel A1, the same results no beeps same 3 red lights.

I turned up the PC with and without the video card, with and without the rams, without any periferic HDD or anything else. But im still getting the same error.

Whats the next step?
Thanks

Hi, Did it use to beep?
If yes, and starting the board without RAMs, are you getting any beeps? If not, try clearing the CMOS (unplug the power cord and remove the CMOS battery for a minute). Start the board and, if still no beeps, it might be a board, or CPU issue. Maybe it's time for an upgrade.

Hello thank you for answering, the motherboard is not beeping with or without Rams. Im goin to try clearing the CMOS and get back to you.

Hello, it was the power supply. It was damage. So now im goin to buy a new power supply, wich one do you think i sould buy?

Another thing tho, i wanna upgrade the RAM, to have at least 8gb more or if i can use 3chanel configuration with 6modules, use the 6gb i have right now plus (3x4gb more) in total 18gb. Thats the best i can do since in the support PDF from my MB it says that only supports 4gb per DIM. Also it says that only and i quote: "Due to intel spec definition, X.M.P and DDR3-1666 are supported for one DIMM per chanel only, in other words, i already have 3, so no more XMP rams. An in top of that, qoute "allways install DIMMs with the same CAS latency, and right now my dimms if im correct are CL:7. So what i can understand is there no way to go but to buy a DDR 3 1333 CL:7 4gbmax per dimm.

update: So after a long search over the internet, i found out this two Ram models:

1: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1066 (PC3 8500) Desktop Memory F3-8500CL7D-8GBRL
2: Corsair Vengeance 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CML4GX3M1X1600C7)

and im planing to order soon, im thinking this friday.
