I just got done putting my computer together (first time trying to assemble a desktop) and when I turn it on I don't get a POST screen. It also doesn't beep but the CD tray will open if I press the button (it won't do this without power) and all of the fans are working just fine. I tried removing the RAM and plugging the computer back in to see if I could get it to beep without RAM but it didn't. All the parts are new but I don't have extras to put in so I have no way to test for faulty parts. I already checked to make sure all my cords were securely plugged in and I heard all the parts click when I put them into place so I have no idea of where to go from here.

Here's a list of all my parts if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

I double checked all my connections already I don't think a third check will help me. I only have one stick of RAM and I tried it in a different slot and it didn't help either thanks for the suggestions though.

I haven't posted on here before so I'm not sure if it's OK to bump my thread but I still don't have a fix does anyone know what to do? There's a display on my motherboard that says "A3" so I know it's getting power and none of the pegs on my CPU were bent so I don't see what the problem is.

I can't get the battery to come out. I know some BIOS batteries aren't replaceable but I don't see how this one can be where it is and not plugged into the board. There isn't a clip on it or anything just a rim of plastic around it and the plastic is on the board almost like when it was made they put the battery in then this thing on top of it
