what is stopping my computer from booting? memory or board?

[kingkong123]

My computer powers up (everything seen to be ON inside) but no boot and no beeps. So I took all ram sticks out and test each stick at different slots but still no luck. When i don't put any ram sticks then computer beeps, indicating no ram sticks inserted.

I also reset cmos but still does not boot.

There's a RED LED light for memory so is it a memory problem?

motherboard: asus p8p67 LE

Can anyone help please? Much appreciated

how are you meant to be getting a video signal? my guess is that it is booting, you just can't see it?

given your update it could be a memory problem, do you have a memory button on the mobo that will force it to find memory settings that work?

I tried to boot with everything unplugged but just power and monitor plugged. that didn't work. There's a BEEP if it boots

There's a button on board that can tune the memory (it loads and tests failsafe memory settings). I checked the manual and pressed that button for tuning but it still showing RED LED light.

I checked the manual but it doesn't say what RED LED (DRAM LED in manual) light means

mine was really twitchy about the memory (z77 v-pro) at first. the memory button usually worked. You aren't even getting the bios screen?

which port are you using? onboard or gpu? swap them.
