I received my parts for my new build yesterday. I should have bread boarded it but my Dad did not want to. We put everything together, all the case fans, graphics card fans, and CPU fan turned on. The CD drive worked. I received no video output or post beep from the mini speaker that came with my parts that I plugged in to the speaker port. Thinking that it could possibly be a case shorting it problem, I took out the motherboard and attempted to boot with just motherboard and CPU. Still no post beeps, so I tried with one stick of ram, two sticks of ram, and no ram in the correct spots according to the manual. To add to the trouble, about 3/4 of the time that I start it up it shuts down after a few seconds. After trying a few times, I could finally get it to boot but still no beeps or video. I am thinking that it could potentially be a bad motherboard, but before I return it should I try anything else?
