Hello,
I recently bought some parts for my very first computer, and I felt so proud.....until it didn't boot up. So I tried again and all the fans spun up and all the lights were on but no beep code and no signal to the monitor. I looked up some possible solutions tried them and they didn't work. I was wondering if any of you amazingly talented people could help thanks.

System specs:
MSI A55M E33 Motherboard
AND Athlon 4x 750k CPU
XFX Radeon HD 7750 GPU
4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 ram
500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue hard drive
400W Cooler Master Power supply
 
start with the simple check list.
will your mb post with your cpu you have. (look on the motherboard vendor web page under cpu guild. it give you the list of tested cpu and the bios need to post your cpu).
make sure the mb is sitting on top of brass mb standoffs and not grounding out. make sure the io shield is not shorting the mb out. on the mb edge is a 4 or 8 pin power connector for cpu and gpu power make sure your power supply is plugged into that port. some gpu need extra power check to see if yours has a 6 pin connector on the edge of the card if it does you need to plug power into the card. check the case header cables make sure the power and reset cables are on the right pins. make sure the case on switch wires are all connected and the reset switch is not jammed in.
