Not sure what forum to put this in, but I am building a computer right now and I have all the parts and it seems like it should start but it just isn't. My case is the HAF 922 with a asus m5a97 pro r2.0 motherboard, a cooler master 720w psu, a amd sempron 145 CPU, asus CD-ROM drive, and a samsung 128gb SSD, and an older VGA. So here's what happening: when I turn it on, the system light turns on and the fans turn on, but the ram light stays red, and even after I do mem ok it still stays red... Also, the moniter isn't showing anything and the cpu light isn't turning on. I was thinking it may be the VGA (whose light also isn't on), but I'm not sure and and wanted to ask some experts. Any help would be greatly appreciate!

Solution
If your speaker did not beeped - problem is near CPU, maybe bios.
Try older CPU for test, if system will start - update bios.
