CPU won't post

[shinsevenx]

I've installed everything fine, tried all the suggestions, the cpu will boot, fans spin, lights come on, hard drive makes general hard drive sounds....but I get nothing on the monitor. The motherboard, processor and graphics card are all new. I've tried with and without the motherboard. I haven't even gotten to the bios screen, so I haven't even been able to do anything.

The motherboard is a Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P , the graphics card is a Sapphire HD 6670, and the processor is a AMD FX 4100 quad-core 3.6 ghz . I just bought these parts today.

Start here even seasoned builders start here.

Start building like he does where he begins the paragraph with "Then for testing, I build the PC in stages."

Many thanks. I got it to work, my problem was user related. I was super tired, as soon as I woke up the next day, I got it working. I didn't fully put the ram stick in. lol
