I just built my pc and it seems like everything is working, both the cases fans are on and spinning, they both have leds turned on, and the cpu cooler is also on. The optical drive also is working for sure because it will open. I dont know if the ram, gpu, or hard drive is working. Please help. I plugged in the speaker that is suppose to make beeps if you are at fault at something, i haven't heard any beeps and i have restarted my computer three times, maybe i plugged it in wrong? I dont know but nothing i try will work.

take out your drive where you have windows installed(if you already have windows installed) and put it in an other pc. install the drivers for your gpu (and install windows if you haven't installed it yet (duh...)) and put your drive back into your new build pc.
you can also try to take out your gpu and put your monitor into your motherboard connection and see if you see anything.
by the way, what does your monitor and tv say when connected?

I figured it out, i still don't know what is wrong with it but i plugged it into my tv and used the graphics card hdmi instead of motherboards. But when i plug it into my monitor, it just goes from running the self check, to just a blank screen and then sleep mode. But with the tv i can get it to the uefi set up until i get windows. Do you have any suggestions why the monitor isnt working, (im using an old dell one with a vga since my asus one hasn't arrived.)

I don't know but it is possible that your old dell monitor is "to old" I have heard something like that before but I could be completely wrong.
but it is nice that your tv is working :D
