Just built a new computer using the Asus A88X-pro. This is the first time I've ever done this and I am a complete novice. The chasis did not come with a speaker, so I can't hear beeps. Probably need to get that. The monitor is not showing anything, using a VGA port. Would VDI work? The keyboard does not show any response, using a usb port. should I use the direct port on the panel instead of the usb? Lastly, is the 2 pin direct connector cable needed for the initial boot? My chasis didn't come with that either. Help!
3/18/14-installation error caused the problem described above. As novice I improperly installed the AMD chip. As many of you know there is a small lever that locks the chip in place BEFORE you attach the heat sink. By failing to lock in the lever the chip was unable to communicate properly. I only mention this because it may help someone in the future. This was discovered by the awesome techs at MicroCenter in Houston, Texas.
