Ok so I hope this is the right section to post in.

This is what happens when I start my computer. It starts up normal, one short beep, but for some reason I'm getting no display on my monitor. After a few seconds my motherboard LED will go out. Since I can't see, I honestly don't think my computer is booting up into windows. It's a self built computer, I've had it for about 6 months now, it worked for the first 5 then I stopped using it for about a month and when I went to go turn it back on I had a series of problems that I've been fixing. This one is kinda stumping me.

I've looked all for something similar and can't really find something thats quite like this issue, the only thing I haven't tried was resetting the CMOS.

System Specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3
GPU: Zotac AMP! GeForce GTX 570
PSU: Corsair TX750W
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Gamer Series
CPU: Intel i5-2500k Sandygate
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
 
Hi there,

It sounds like the RAM. Try to open the computer and reseat memory.

Sometimes when the computer is moved or over time a memory stick can become loose causing the computer to be unable to read the memory or get errors as it's reading it. Try fixing this issue by opening the computer removing each of the memory sticks you have in the computer and then placing them back into the computer.

Swap memory location
If reseating the memory did not resolve the issue try swapping the location of the memory. If you have only one stick of memory in the computer try moving it to another slot and then boot the computer.

If you have more than one stick of memory try removing all but one stick of memory and boot the computer. If this does not resolve the issue try removing that stick of memory and try one of the other sticks of memory.

I tried what you said and it didn't resolve my issue, also what I meant by "I can't see" is since theres no image going to my monitor I don't even know if it's booting into windows.
