My first time building a box and boo hoo. Bought the below pieces, assembled everything and powered on but nothing displays on my monitor. Everything powers on properly (cpu fan, system fan, HD, CD/DVD, etc.). I thought it was my vid card but I replaced it with a different one and same deal. I also never hear any beeps, I disconnected everything so only CPU and case front panel is powered. I expected to hear beeps related to missing memory, but it never happened. Yes my case speaker is hooked up (I bought one for $2), and all fans spin, CPU heats up, etc. So no video and no beeps, I'm thinking motherboard is DOA?
Another strange thing I noticed - every time I power on, everything (CPU, PSU, HD, etc.) would power on for 2 sec, then shut down for 2 sec, then powers on again and stays on. I searched the forum for this behavior but no luck. Could this be related to any of the problems I have? This happens no matter what i have connected - minimum stuff or with everything like memory, vide card, etc.
Am I correct in that my mobo is DOA? Or is there something else I should try?
