Hi,
I recently bought the following components to build a new PC:
MB - ASRock X79 Extreme3
Processor - Intel Core i7-3820 3.6Ghz LGA2011
Processor cooler - Arctic Cooling Freezer i30
Memory - 4 x 2GB Kingston HyperX 2400Mhz DDR3 (KHX2400C11D3K4/8GX)
Graphics - Asus GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB
Case - Corsair Carbide 500R
PSU - Corsair TX650 modular PSU
SSD - 128GB Corsair drive
Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda 1TB
With all components installed I get the case fan and processor fans starting up but no post. I removed the RAM completely and I get 3 consecutive beeps, so I installed one DIMM in alternate slots and still no post.
I then removed all components and took the MB outside the case hooked up to only the PSU and CPU installed with cooler and no RAM or Graphics card - 3 beeps again as expected. Installed the RAM and nothing - no post or single system beep.
Assuming it's the RAM I then replaced it with a Kingston DDR3 1600Mhz HyperX CL9 DIMM with the same results. I've also tried Crucial's Ballistix Sport 1600Mhz and still nothing.
Anyone have any ideas what component may be faulty or installed incorrectly? There are no LEDs on this board to tell me where the problem lies...
