First. This is my first time building a computer. Just putting that out there...now the problem.

My Dram led stays on constantly when I turn it on, I get no screen or anything. Everything seems to boot up fine with the fans and whatnot and I've tried so many dang solutions but I just can't seem to get it to work. When I press the MemOk button the light starts the usual flashing and in the middle of it I get a led going off with the cpu led, it blinks twice once in a while throughout the MemOk process.

I've tried reseting the CMOS, making sure all the connections are plugged in right, making sure all my hardware is compatible, tightened the mobo screws in at an acceptable pressure, tried bios flashback with USB plugged in with the Bios update for my cpu, I've also sent the mobo and cpu back in case they were no good. The RAM I've tried using different sticks, double and single, still nothin

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Well then. This is embarrassing. I was reseating the RAM...gave it a little more force and it turns out I wasn't clicking them in all the way, problem solved. Been trying to figure out what was wrong with my setup for almost 2 weeks now....*facepalm*
