I recently bought the parts listed below and put them together with the help of my brother (who knows a lot more about computers than me). Once we got everything together I turned it on but nothing showed up on the monitor. In addition, it will not turn off unless I flip the switch on the PSU and the light on the motherboard's OC gear won't turn off. I tried the first seven steps on geekstogo with no results. I was wondering if anyone had any advice more specific to my components.

I obviously also have a keyboard mouse and speakers but i dont think those are any problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where's your memory? You haven't listed any, I hope you've put some in there

Forgot to put that on there. Is it a big problem if the RAM is 1.6v and the motherboard is 1.5v?

I just replaced the motherboard and processor but it didn't fix anything...

Take the memory out, assuming there's a PC or case speaker connected, it should beep.
Also take the graphics card out, it should beep.

If it beeps with one of the above missing, it usually means either that component is faulty or the board doesn't like it.

I took the video card and memory out separately and never heard any beeps. My speakers do work and they were on full volume. I tried using a different video card, hard drive, power supply, monitor, video cable.... I don't get it.

Ok. So the RAM i have is triple channel and the mobo needs double channel. I didn't know that double or triple doesn't just mean how many sticks there are. I hope that's the problem...

Does anyone know if its a problem that the RAM needs 1.6v and the mobo says 1.5v?
