Yesterday, I finished my computer build (on a budget) and I stood it up and plugged in the VGA cable to the onboard gpu and HDMI to my EVGA Nvidia GT 610 (remember, budget). As soon as I booted it up I heard 2 beeps and saw nothing, I went to the HDMI setting and there was nothing. I checked to see if things were unplugged or if I missed anything but I didn't, I looked around and it seems many people had this problem and people were telling them to POST (I did that already), wrap the SATA Power cable in electrical tape (didn't help), and to look and BIOS codes to figure it out. Specs: Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS Socket AM3+ 760G mATX AMD Motherboard
EVGA Nvidia GT 610 PCI-E x16 2gb
Some old ram a 1gb stick from samsung and the other 2gb stick from some company
I think the HDD was a Seagate but it is a 160gb
Phillips x24 DVD-Drive
Athlon II 3.0 GHZ
DLF-92F CPU Cooler with LED
Inland Silver Series 500 Watt PSU

I have no clue what is the problem so hopefully someone could help.

I went through the list you sent me and I am back to square one, still two beeps. I do think it might be the RAM, I had 3 sticks I tried but none worked.
