I'm in the process of building a new computer. I've gotten everything hooked up to, CPU 8-pin and the 24-pin are connected. When I turn on the computer everything lights up, the fans run, however I get a q-code of 3F, which I can't find what that means in my mobo manual. Upon unplugging my processor I get no error code, but I can't get display.

For clarification: I cannot get a display with or without the processor, everything seems to be hooked up correctly (i've triple checked), it all turns on, but I don't get a display to a monitor I know works.

PARTS:
a88x-pro asus
athlon x4 760k
amd radeon r9 280x tri-x sapphire
8gb of g-skill ripjaw ram
corsair cx600m psu
1 tb WD HDD

How do I get a display.. is the processor broken?

have you tried different ports on the video card a lot of people will hook up a vga to the wrong digital port and it will show nothing. A VGA plugs into the top Port on the video card it says VGA right beside it.
From their try one stick of memory at a time.
EDIT try one stick of memory and move it to each spot if their no display do the same with the other stick. You PC is not posting.

I'm using HDMI and I'm sure it's connected fully. I'll try to mess with the memory... I went to microcenter and was told that my mobo was probably busted, so I bought a new one, plugged everything in, but the fans don't work! I'm getting sick of this building a pc process, or maybe I'm just incredibly stupid and missing something.
