So I have a no display issue. Computer turns on all fans spin, DVD drive opens, caps lock does not light up on keyboard. I have no system speaker.

I had 4 ram sticks installed, I noticed on my asus the MEMOK! light was solid red. I took out the 2 oldest ram sticks, put the 2 newer gskill in the 2 black dimm slots, booted and everything worked. It worked through several boots as I updated the nvidia driver.

I thought maybe the 2 older ram sticks were just not seated properly from me bumping them while removing an old HDD so I installed them in the blue dimm slots, booted, no display. Now the MEMOK light does not turn on.

So I took them out again, back to how it was set up when it was working 10 mins ago. No display.

I have since tried every possible combination of the 2 newer rams that I know was working recently in the dimm slots. Including only have 1 ram installed at a time, each ram tried in each slots, no luck.

Last week my PSU had died and I ordered a replacement. That fixed the no fans spinning. But since installing the new PSU I have had the current trouble as described.

So far I have followed the "PERFORM THESE STEPS before posting about POST/boot/no video problems!" guide on tomshardware.

I have swapped GPU's with another PC. Both GPUs work in the 2nd working PC. Both gpus give no display in the first not working pc while the fan is spinning.

I have tried using the onboard graphics with the GPU removed and after resetting CMOS, no luck, same issue.

I do not have any other ddr3 ram to test with.

My goal is to determine if I need to buy new RAM, or replace the MOBO entirely. (Or hopefuly fix it was the parts I have)

My parts are:


MSI Orce GTX 1060 3G OCV1 Graphics Card (GeForce GTX 1060 3G OCV1)

EVGA SuperNPVA 1000 G3, 80 Plus Gold 1000W, Fully Modular

ASUS P8H67-M Pro

Mushkin Enhanced ECO3 2.5" 480GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDE3480GB

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)

Not sure the exact kind of CPU, its an Intel I3

Thanks in advance.

Yes I've tried a single 4gb stick of ram in each of the ram slots 1 at a time including slot 0. The computer turns on enough to make the fans spin, but always no display.
