I recently embarked on a new PC build using Logical Increments to source the parts and NewEgg tutorial videos to build it. I got as far as breadboxing but haven't been able to get the computer to post. I went through the no boot checklist and got down past step 23 where the suggestion is to pull everything but the CPU and HSF.
With a mobo speaker I get long beeps indicating no RAM. I then install a stick of RAM and get silence. I've tried all four slots with both of my 4GB and received the same results. If this does indicate what the checklist says is the RAM shorting out the PSU (very rare), where does my solution lay? I'll also note that regardless of the beep status my CPU fan spins up initially but then ceases and yes both the CPU fan and 8 pin motherboard power are plugged in.
I've posted all my parts below in case that will assist with anything but I greatly appreciate any help.
