Hey guys,

This is my third build and my computer won't post. Is there an excepted progression to find which part is responsible?

I hooked it all up outside the box and it still didn't post.

Do you need an external speaker to hear the post beep, or does the motherboard make the sound?

If I just hook up my motherboard (with cpu installed) to the PS and start switch, should it post? Or do I need the memory and video card hooked up for it to post?

Thanks for the help,

Gino

some boards have a speaker built in, and some do not, it yours has pins for a speaker then you need to plug it in to see what, if any, beeps you are getting.

You definitely need memory for it to post, and depending on whether the MB has onboard video, it will require video of some sort.

Thanks for the help. This Ausus motherboard (Asus M2N) doesn't have it's own speaker, and neither does my case (antec P180). After robisbell's post, I added a speaker from an old case. Now I'm getting a Post error beep code. It looks like I have bad memory, or the board doesn't like this type of memory (CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-6400 R). Looking on newegg's reviews, someone else had this problem with DDR2 800 memory.

I'm thinking I'll have to RMA the MB. I should prob spend a little more and get a better MB.

Again, thanks for the help!

before you RMA that, try it with only one stick of RAM. Make sure its seated properly and inserted into the slot correctly. Sometimes DDR2 stuff will actually fit into the slot backwards without extra force... don't ask me how I figured that one out.
