I don't know if this is the right thread (newbie), but my newly built PC isn't working, nothing is happening, no beeping, no BIOS, nothing on screen.

Specifications (of whole build, not everything is included as of right now):

CPU - Athlon X4 860k
GPU - R7 240 DDR3 (upgrading to R9 380)
MOBO - F2A78M-HD2
PSU - 1100W Silver Standard ("upgrading" this because it's not modular)
RAM - 4GB G.Skill Ripjaws X Series (1600MHz)
Case - Rosewill WolfStone

I took out some of the components (like USB) to test out everything, but here's a picture: http://imgur.com/FFFt9Ly

Just built this PC tonight (first build...) and am disappointed with this. I've taken out the RAM but no beeping, running regularly. I don't have any other RAM (1333MHz+), so I'd like to know if it's the memory or not before purchasing some more RAM ($25 RAM, not cheap (for me)).

I tried connecting the VGA (and DVI-D) to the MOBO and GPU, nothing. I've unplugged the CMOS, yes, the case speaker is connected.

I've taken out the RAM, removed the GPU, but no beep. Possibly a dead motherboard? It's what I'm thinking... the CPU fan is spinning and so are all of the other fans.

Well, the motherboard is past Newegg's 30-day refund, but the CPU was just bought on the 1st. I'll buy a new motherboard from a local electronic's store and test it out with the CPU. If it doesn't work, then I'll definitely refund the CPU and ship it back. Thanks for your help and time, appreciated :)

That means I can refund this and buy another one :) Didn't know that, thanks for the info. Hopefully when I buy a new FM2+ motherboard it'll work, and I can do set it up.
