Hi, I'm fairly new to Tom's Hardware and computer building.
Recently, I built my second desktop using components I ordered from Newegg. After assembly, I turned the computer on, and the fans spun, LEDs turned on etc., but the USBs on the motherboard and the HDMI/VGA did not work--so I didn't get a signal.
I have an AMD motherboard and CPU, but Intel-based memory. I have seen people say that Intel memory will work on AMD motherboards, but not vice versa, and some say that it won't work period. Mixed messages aside, will non-compatible memory cause a motherboard to fail to function? Otherwise, I don't know what the problem is and am afraid to have to return things.
Thanks!
