saintmonkey1979 Posted 6 April, 2015 Share Posted 6 April, 2015 Hi all. I'm trying to build a PC but so far I am losing my battle. To my knowledge, I have done everything right and all is connected and wired correctly, however, I still can't get it to work. Is there anyone who is more computer savvy than myself who can see or think of anything I may have overlooked or done incorrectly? Any help would be massively appreciated Thanks in advance [emoji120] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Posted 6 April, 2015 Share Posted 6 April, 2015 Does it power on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintmonkey1979 Posted 6 April, 2015 Author Share Posted 6 April, 2015 Powers on, but nothing after that except a loud beep after about 3 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboy Posted 6 April, 2015 Share Posted 6 April, 2015 Just a guess but if everything is powered, fans spinning but nothing comes up on the screen I'd say faulty ram or mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 7 April, 2015 Share Posted 7 April, 2015 The beeps will be an error code generated by the motherboard. 2 major things would be to make sure you have inserted first the TAM correctly and secondly ensure you have inserted the CPU without bending any pins etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintmonkey1979 Posted 7 April, 2015 Author Share Posted 7 April, 2015 The CPU was already in situ and the RAM seems to be inserted correctly. I made sure it was compatible with the motherboard first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other beeps than ? Just 1 beep after a time ? Does it power down ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintmonkey1979 Posted 7 April, 2015 Author Share Posted 7 April, 2015 Nope. Power stays on, fan continues to run, just the one beep. Totally baffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 7 April, 2015 Share Posted 7 April, 2015 Have you tried both the VGA and the HDMI port for video ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerBadger Posted 9 April, 2015 Share Posted 9 April, 2015 The info that came with the system board should show what the beeps indicate - the amount and length of the beeps denote different issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 10 April, 2015 Share Posted 10 April, 2015 Have you tried both the VGA and the HDMI port for video ? This - you should get something displayed unless the MoBo is completely u/s. What MoBo do you have ? Does the system show any other signs of life, eg does the LED on the optical drive flash as it is polled by POST, does the HDD spin up ?
