I've bought a new motherboard, processor and ram:
MB: Asrock Z77 Pro3
CPU: Intel i5 3450
RAM: 8 GB Corsair 1600MB CL9 DDR3 (Vengeance Module Kit)
A bit too optimistic at first I plugged everything in and started the computer. All the fans turned on (including graphics card), but there was no beep from the motherboard. Now I've reduced the configuration to motherboard and one stick of RAM (and the powerbutton and speaker) and still all the fans turn on but no beep! I've also tried to remove the CMOS battery for more than 10 seconds.
My power supply is quite new as well, it is a one year old Sharkoon 600W.
I guess one of the components I'm using, i.e. Motherboard, CPU, RAM, or power supply must be broken, but how do I determine which?
PS: The motherboard does beep 3 times when I remove the 1 RAM stick.
