Hi, i need help on the new PC i'm building:

Asus M3N-H HDMI Motherboard (built-in nVidia GeForce 8300)
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=1&model=2181&l1=3&l2=149&l3=676&l4=0

Kingston 2GB, 667mhz DDR2 ram
http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/con...tp://www.kingston.com&ktcpartno=KVR667D2N5/2G
The RAM is tested on another pc at its detected at post. Which means it works.

Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 460 Watt (ATX 12V v2.3)

AMD Athlon X2 3.0Ghz 2mb L2 cache Socket AM2
http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=34

All parts are new, out of the box.
I didn't connect any Hard disk or optical drive yet.

When i power up the pc, the LED on the motherboard turned green (according to the manual it means its on, as oppose to orange for standby). The CPU fan and chassis fan is running.

There's no vga detected by the monitor. And there's no beep either.

But if i remove the RAM, there's a "BEEEEEEEP, BEEP, BEEP", one long beep, two short beeps - a display adapter problem.

This makes sense 'cause this motherboard has a built-in display adapter which uses shared memory.

But again when i install the RAM and start the pc, there's no beep whatsoever.
