Here's the dilemma:
I got a new CPU (AMD FX8320) erplaced my old one (AMD Phenom XII 965 black edition)
My monitor said no signal.
I took my old cpu and put it back in my motherboard after all the basic troubleshooting and my monitor said no signal.
Keep in mind the old CPU worked amazing for 8 months since I had it.

I broke my mini onboard speaker and I;m getting a new one next week, so I'm not for sure what t he issue is.

I got new ram, still no signal on monitor.
I replaced my motherboard (ASROCK 880GM-LE FX) 2 times. At this moment I don't know if these two new motherboards of the same model might be DoA.

All the fans are spinning fine.

What could be the issue?..

I already tried reseating gpu and everything else, reset cmos, biios battery and checked monitor cables (hdmi) , etc.

Could someone help me PLEASE.
 
Solution
when you take out the ram, obviously it won't boot because there's no ram. 3 beeps typically means there's a problem with the RAM.

what bios version do you have?

You need P1.30.

If you don't have it then you'll need to update your bios.

but if you put your old CPU back in the motherboard and the computer didn't work, i'm not so sure what the problem could be. Could've broken the socket?...

When my motherboard worked before all of this happened, no video display was there when connecting from mobo to monitor -
so I have to plug it through video card.

And yes, I did plug in all the right power connectors for everything.

Thing is I don't have parts to test out what is dead or not..

I use DDR3 ram too. Can't remmeber exactly what, but I *know* it's DDR3. I bought a new pair of 8GB ram that was DDR3 to see if maybe my RAM was dead, but that still didn't solve the issue.
My power supply is corsair 650 watts

gpu = nvidia geforce 650ti

I never got a display from all three motherboards when plugged in from motherboard. The two new ones could be DoA...
The one that worked before all this happened, I tried to plug a cord into the motherboard but I guess it didn't display because I had my GPU plugged in.. but the two new ones plugged into motherboard without graphics card in doesn't display.

Okay I finally got a new mini onboard speaker. With a new mobo(couldve came in DoA), I bench tested the mobo(on cardboard, non static, plug in necessary stuff with minimum ram 1 stick )
My computer beeps 3 times repeatedly over and over . What does this mean o_O

welp, after cleaning out a little dust and trying all the components back on the 3 motherboards and after reseating the RAM for an hour or so the monitor finally came up :)

However.... now that I fixed that... My BIOS doesn't detect my harddrive :(
I went into the bios settings and it couldnt detect it. The thing is set on IDE
Also tried a new sata cable (one that works for sure) and still nothing.
