Hi,

I have been building a new PC and can't get past POST, the system components are:

asus m5a97 evo r2 motherboard
2x4Gb Corsair vengernce ram
fx8350 AMD CPU (black edition)
Corsair CX750 PSU
Radeon R7 250X GPU

After turning the PC on the Dram light remains red and there is no monitor output. I have tried,
replacing the motherboard, replacing the ram and clearing the CMOS, placing 1 stick of ram in each slot. All of these attempts have not solved the problem. The only thing I can now think of is replacing the CPU? The CPU was a year old when I built the PC originally. Has anyone got any advice?? Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks for replying. I bought a speaker yesterday online. When it gets here I will give that a try update here.
