First, let me say that I am a novice with computers. This is my first build by myself. After completing the assembly, the computer will not boot. The DRAM LED flashes red and then nothing. No beeps, nothing on the monitor. When I put a disc in the drive, it sounds like it tries to boot up, but I can't really see if it's doing anything.
I only have one stick of RAM. I've tried it in all 4 slots with the exact same result. I've tried the memOK button. Nothing. I really am not sure what to do. I'm hoping that it's just a bad stick of ram, but I'm guessing that I've screwed something up. Not sure what to do or even how to find what the issue is.
System Specs:
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600 Kingston hyper x
CPU: AMD FX 6300
VIDEO CARD: Radeon R9 270
