Hello all. I am currently building my first system and I tried firing it up for the first time the other day, and I am getting no video. Im pretty sure I know what the problem is, but I wanted to get an experts opinion.ComponentsCase - Rosewill ChallengerPSU - Rosewill 1000wCPU - Intel i7 970 hex coreMB - Asus P6X58-E WSCooler - Antec Khuler H20 620Basically, I hit the power button and all my fans spin up along with the cooler pump but I get no video. The motherboard I am using supports up to 24 gb of ram and has six slots, meaning a maximum of 6x4 gb. Well I bought a stick of Corsair Vengeance 8 gb by mistake, thinking it was going to be 2x4 gb instead of 1x8gb. So my question is, could using an 8 gb stick in a 4 gb max slot be causing my boot issues? If I take the stick out and try to boot with no ram at all, I get a long short short beep, which means a memory issue. If I try to boot with the 8 gb in slot 1, I get no beeps. There was a little diagnosing board that was included with my MB, and when I try to boot, it flashes the same three codes over and over.Anyway, any help is appreciated. If any more info is needed, just let me know. Thanks
