I am building a PC for the first time and I cannot seem to get video or beeps or anything this is a list of my components:
Antec MicroFusion Remote 350 Micro ATX Media Center (Case & PSU)
GIGABYTE GA-880GM-UD2H (MOBO)
AMD Athlon II X2 255 Regor 3.1GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor (CPU)
CORSAIR 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (RAM)
Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS (HDD)
SAMSUNG Black 12X BD-ROM Model SH-B123L (CD/DVD)

I plugged everything in and got nothing so i did some googling and was told to try it with just the power supply, mobo, ram, and cpu. While the mobo is out of the case on a cardboard box. So i set it up in that fashion and still came to the same result. no video or beeps.

Not to sure if this mobo has a speaker so i went ahead and plugged in my stereo into the line out and that didn't help either.

I have it plugged into a monitor with a vga cable. the monitor and same cable work fine with my laptop.
