Hello everyone,
this is my first pc build the parts I'm using are as follows
Case Coolermaster 932 Haf
CPU i7 3770 LGA 1155
RAM 2 4gb G.skill Ripjaws f3 12800cl9d-8gbrl
Motherboard Asus z77
PSU coolermaster 750w
I have a few problems. When I turn the power on the green light comes on and the cpu idicator light flashes red for a second then goes out. The light by the RAM is always red. I have tried reseating the RAM it's in the slot closest to the CPU. The clips on the RAM slot don't exactly clamp down, but I know the RAM is compatible. I'm thinking the red light might be behindmy other problem which is the fact that nothing shows up on the screen when I plug the HDMI cable into my tv. I also have tried putting in a graphics card the fan doesn't spin. My graphics card is pretty old so I'm not to worried about this part since I will probably upgrade it. This is my first pc build, so I could be screwing up something simple. I was searching around for the solution and read about someone with the same problem who had to RMA the motherboard. I would like to avoid sending the motherboard if there is nothing wrong. thanks to anyone who can help.
