I am building a new system and I cannot get it to post to bios. It stays on as the fans spin and the light on the motherboard is still on and so is the power supply. However it will not post. I have tried working ram and graphics card from a different system. As I understand it cannot be the cpu right? If the cpu were broken it would not turn on at all? The fans on the card will not even spin. I also tried a card I had lying around that never worked too well but always posted. This one did not post either.

The rig is
PSU- Corsair CX 430
Ram- have G. Skill but am testing generic ram that worked in another computer. Both this and G. skill let the computer stay on with no beep.
CPU- fx-8320
Motherboard- MSI 970 GAMING
Case- well that kind of irrelevant at the moment
GPU- The one that stays on is the GT 430 the one that does not is a pci GT 520. Neither post and no beep from either.

I have noticed your computer in your sig appears to be quite low end. I struggle with 1.86Ghz let alone any lower :)

I have the same problem with my motherboard (Gigabyte G41M-Combo), fans turn, power is ON but have concluded it appears to be a BIOS problem which is difficult to fix. I have been asked to return to repair under warranty. In my experience if the computer turns on then the PSU is good.
I have had this fault with a few motherboards and analysis leads me to conclude that a lack of beeps (post) is a corrupt bios for whatever reason. This can be caused by memory going bad or a graphics card going faulty as it wa in my case.

I have also tried a different powersupply from a working pc. The only thing not working is the video output so I cannot see if it posts or not. There are no beeps though. I connected a speaker to it and nothing.
