I recently put together a new computer.When i try to boot my computer it will not POST, the fans spin, the leds light up, the HD cd-rom and floppy spin up, but i dont get a post screen or any beeps. My proccesor was replaced, my motherboard was replaced, video card was replaced and still the same outcome. Any ideas?

hello
try completely removeing all the ram and boot this should give you a conyinuing series of beeps .witch will indecate that bios and mobo error codes are at least working.
i would recheck all conections and jumpers and make sure vidio card is seated well.
try just one stick of ram and reboot any thing?

Maybe you've solved this by now, but here's what I can tell you ... Kingston HyperX and Corsair 3200 memories (and probably all other 2-2-2-6-1 memories) will not post on Asus or Intel (maybe all) 875 based mobos with the memory settings set to "Auto". Even Kingston's 3200A memory, which is rated 2-3-2-6-1 will not post on my Intel D875PBZ because the mobo will not set the timings to 2-3-2-6. I'm not sure what the porcedure is on the Asus (consult the manual or website), but on the Intel, I had to:
1) turn of all power to the mobo (unplug PS if it doesn't have a switch on the back of it)
2) Move the BIOS config jumper to configure
3) Power the system - it will now be forced into the BIOS setup
4) Change the memory timings to 2-3-2-6
5) Save changes & Exit - it will prompt you to turn off the system - all power, again - and move the jumper back to the normal position
6) Power the system and get on with your life :-)I had to do this again after a BIOS update (GRRRR)
