I bought an ASUS RAMPAGE II EXTREME motherboard, an ASUS GTX 560 Direct CU II video card, an I-7 970 processor, a VIGOR Monsoon III LT heatsink, 3 x Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 4GB DDR3 RAM, and after i put it all in my Thermaltake Level 10 GT BATTLE EDITION case and I go to turn it on only the motherboard and everything connected to it comes on, none of the case fans or LEDs and the LCD thing says locked. What does that mean?

Try with a single stick of DRAM in slot 1 closest to CPU, if no joy try another...- you mention 3 sticks - did these come together in a single package ? or did you pick up 3 individual sticks?

I tried all 3 in the DIMM_1 slot and it still said locked
I got the RAM in individual packages

Might try unplugging system, and reset the CMOS via jumper on mobo, instructions in manual, should take everything to factory defaults, then start with 1 stick

Should I have to do that even though every things brand new?
