[size=14pt][size=14pt]Problem faced[/size][/size] :: When I hit the start button on the case, the fans on processor, GPU and case - all start spinning all good. But I get NOTHING on the monitor.

And additionally, I see a SOLID RED CPU LED light on the motherboard when I start it. The display remains absolutely blank. It says no signal.

I have tried 2 other monitors and they also got no signal.

[size=14pt]Things I have tried[/size] ::

1) Tried different monitors - didn't work. I don't even see any start up bios things.
2) Tried reseating all the components - still won't work.
3) Tried flashing my BIOS to make my motherboard recognize the FX 8350. The flashback doesn't work.
4) Tried resetting the CMOS - Didn't help.

[size=14pt]Possible fixes I am thinking of doing[/size] ::

1) Trying a different Power Supply.
2) Trying the GPU on another setup to see if it works fine.
3) Checking the RAM on another system.[size=10pt][/size]
4) RMAing the mobo (might be Dead on Arrival)

[size=12pt]PLEASE help me. I spent a lot of money on this system and now it won't boot.[/size]

When the fans spin up, is it a solid, consistent sound, or does it fluxuate up and down, as if the speed is being adjusted?
If at all possible, find a motherboard speaker and plug it into the board (there should be a 4 pin array, either part of the larger array with power/reset/LEDs. If the motherboard is having an error this will help with POST codes.

To confirm you plugged both 6/8 pin power connectors into the 7950 prior to booting?

Yes I have the 8 pin connector cable connected as well.

I have a small beeping device thing which is supposed to beep if there is some kind of hardware malfunction, but it doesn't alarm at all. I dont know what to do. Should I take it to Asus support center?
