M5a97 no boot dram led lit need help

[Patdaly]

Am using a m5a97 mobo
was using a fx4100 but the bios was too advanced for the mobo so now using a sempron 145 but still the same results
corsair xms 3 ram 4gb stick 1333
using a hd 5450 for video out

when powered the dram led is conmstantly lit even after reformatting
have a speaker plugged in but there are no beeps when powered so dont know whats wrong

this is my first build so inexperienced and have no idea what to do
