No beeps upon start up on 970A-DS3

No beeps upon start up on 970A-DS3
« on: August 13, 2013, 12:55:00 pm »
Hi

I have been out of the PC game for a while having been using MacBooks but am in the process of building a new PC

The problem is, when I boot up, there are no beeps whatsoever, nor any display so far as I can see

The spec is as follows:

CiT 1017 Black Mesh Midi Case LED Fan 500w PSU
AMD FX-8120 3.10GHz AM3+ 8 CORE 16MB CACHE (D8120FRG... (161078741597)
Gigabyte GA970A-DS3 Motherboard
Liteon Ihas120 20x Dvd±rw (dual ±r)/ram Sata Drive
Toshiba Hdd Retail Kit 3.5'' 2tb
TP-Link Wireless-N150 PCIe card
8GB Corsair DDR-3300 memory
AMD Radeon HD 5450 (2GB) Full HD Graphics Card


As far as I can see everything is seated properly, and all connectors are connected correctly to the case. The PSU fan goes round


Thanks in advance for any help

I don't know anyone who would recommend using one of those cheap power supplies that comes free with a PC case. I would start by replacing that with a good quality power supply.
Did you install a system warning speaker? What's a DDR 3300 memory?
1) GA-Z97X-Gaming 7, G3258,
2) GA-990FXA-UD3 Rev. 1.1, FX-8350
3) GA-AM1M-S2P, Sempron 3850 Kabini

I realised I didn't have a speaker, so installed one, still no beeps

I will try changing keyboard, as I have one of each, but I'd still expect something to come up on screen

Memory is Corsair XMS3 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Single Module

I know the PSU might not be the greatest, but surely it would suffice to get into bios

I have tried an alternate graphics card, tried reseating everything, but still no joy
