Just built a new machine, when i powered it for the first time nothing appeared on the monitor but there are repeating 5 or 6 second long beeps.
This is the first time I've built a machine by myself, so I don't really know where to go from here in solving the problems so any advice is appreciated, thanks.
system specs are e8600, evga 790i ftw, 4gb corsair xms3 1600, and a pair of 260 core 216s.
clear the CMOS.
make shure its all installed correctly, count the standoffs and screws to make sur nothing is touching the back of the board.
double check heatsinks
try 1 stick of memorey and 1 vid card.
The exact number, length and pattern of beeps is a code for what the problem is. Look in your mobo manual, or search the mobo manufacturer's website, for a list of beep codes and what they mean.
