Hi!
I recently bought my new gaming rig and built it.
When I turn on the computer everything seems to be responsive except that nothing shows up on the screen, nothing.
It can't be a problem with the MB because then my system wouldn't start in the first place. It might be the memory but im not sure.
I was told the system beeps but the only thing close to that is that the power light on the monitor is blinking.
Please give an answer asap.

On new mb the onboard video is set as the first output now. Try your monitor on the mb video ports. If there no video from them, power off the pc and check that the four or eight pin CPU power plug on the edge of the mb has a power plug connected. Look at your mb at power on some have fault led other have post codes. See if the CPU or ram fault led is on. If the ram fault led is on try taking out one stick of ram. Some mb bios need to be updated to run newer sticks of ram.

But the MB's lights are working fine, power is being distributed, and the front lights are working on the i/o panel. I don't know. There's so many conflicting thigs it's hard to handle

I actually spoke with an MSI rep and we found out that my mb might have been made before the richland APU came out. I'm going to install a trinity to see if it boots up. If not then the motherboard is DOA.
