Hello, I'm totally new in building computers but I finally got to assemble my first PC. The problem is when I power it, the red DRAM led flashes on and gives me 1 long and 2 short beeps, and of course, no video output.

My build is the following: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sJsFyc

What I already did:
- Try only with one RAM module and switch it through the slots.
- Take off the video card and connect monitor to motherboard switch.
- Double check everything is connected, press every connector already in the motherboard.
- Press the MemOK button.
- Switch from DVI to VGA and vice versa.
- Motherboard standoff's are in place.
- PSU, case fans, CPU fan power on OK.

All with no luck.

Please, any help will be greatly appreciated!

I did some quick googling and I've got two things for you to try.
1) Make sure the RAM is all the way in. I think you should get a click on each side. (They should be about level with the mobo the entire time and you should be putting them in the two lighter colored slots.)

2) Hold down the MemOK button until the LED starts blinking.
