Setting Up my own Computer - problem

Hey,
I just got all parts of my new computer, and put it together,

However, now that I'm done, when I turn the computer, it makes a 3 second beep sound and then turns off on its own after 10 more seconds.

Anyone knows what the problem could be? Where did I screw up?

Thanks

 

Does anything show up on the screen? Are you using integrated video or do you have a video card for it?

 

nothing shows up on the screen at all.

I do have a video card that I installed on the botherboard

 

Ok, I got the turning off problem fixed.

But now I have another problem. Nothing will show on the monitor ....

and the Graphic card is installed properly and it doesn't have an extra power connection.

Any help is appreciated

 

Check to make sure the RAM is completely pushed into the slots

 

I just did, that doesnt seem to be the problem. They are fixed in their positions.

 

take your ram out nd then run your computer
if it gives a long beep it means u r motherboard is fine nd working
then clean edges of ram nd fix it again in slots , then reboot it nd see

 

Compatibility issues as I see it. Maybe you plugged the VGA cable on the onboard video slot, not the add-on one?

 

Thats not the problem,

And I did take the plastic cover off the CPU (it also has a fan on top of it (that came with it))

 

yes compatibility issue.
It can be with any hardwware especially RAM that your MB does not support.
Check the MB manual for which RAMs types are supported.

 

Well there is no compatibility issue. the motherboard has cabinet shot. You'll have to see if the motherboard is touching the cabinet. If yes either place an insulator or rubber inbetween.

All motherboards come with electric surge protection and wont allow damageable current to pass through them.



Its 6:45 AM here... I am going to sleep now ... I would have loved to help out. Its basically a shot problem...

If nothing works:

1. Take out your motherboard and place it on a insulator like a book or Wooden Box and then check for monitor display. If it works outside the cabinet then if you surely work inside too if its not shot with cabinet.

Gotta go .. Good night

 

It doesn't seem to be that either. Here are my parts:

Motherboard
CPU
RAM which i have 4 of them

 

Did you tried what I told you ??

I am here for next 5 mins... do what I told you ..

 

To take out the motherboard, no i didn't .

That seems too much work as I already put wire wraps around the all the wires inside the cabinet.

But everything in the case seems to be working, even the hard drive is making sounds, the lights on the Motherboard are on too..

 

monitor turned on ?

 

Lol. You're making the topic starter a dumb person

 

yes the monitor is turned on, thanks for asking

 

Well you need to do what I told. The Cabinet is the main problem.

 

yes, do what mr. Yfc tells you. he would know.

 

Did you try clearing your CMOS, and are you still getting any beeps?
