I'm building a PC for a customer but I'm having a strange issue. For some reason I'm not getting any video to the screen. I've tried using two different monitors with two different connectors, I even tried the on-board graphics. I got no picture at all. Also, the case speaker isn't beeping during boot. :ohwell:

Specs are...

ASUS P7H55-M/CSM Mobo
Intel Core i5 760
Asus HD5450
Crucial 2x2GB DDR3

Any ideas?

Your motherboard might be electrically grounded to your case.

Nope, figured it out. RAM was in the wrong slot. I feel a bit dumb now.:laugh:

i had a similar problem with my 2500K, ram should boot from all slots. Take out the cpu and have a look at the pins on the motherboard. You may had 2 touching. Put them back in line with a pin if they are.

The tip of a 0.5mm mechanical pencil was pretty much designed for the task. :toast:
