Hey everyone, this is my first computer build ever and obviously it would have problems. But i just dont know what to do, here are my parts:
MoBo: MSI a75a-g55
GPU: MSI R7770-PMD1GD5
APU/CPU: A6-3670k
PSU: RaidMax 500w
HDD: Seagate 500gb 7200rpm
Optical Drive: Asus disc drive
RAM: Patriot Viper Xtreme PC3-12800 1600mhz 6gb (3 cards)

I don't know why but it turns on and the fans run and it beeps once but it doesnt turn up on the display. Can some one help please?

yes you can use 3, however, you may need to populate the black slots before using the blue slot. This is something that is written in your manual.

try using just 1 stick, putting it in the black slot closest to the cpu

did you install your rams modules in the correct 3 slots? sometimes you have to put it in specific modules depending on the number you are using. Check your manual. Also, did you plug in the 4pin mobo power on the top of the mobo?

Thanks for all the help! I finally figured out what was wrong..... I was using the motherboards dvi output instead of the graphics card output....
