Default Asus M3a

Okay, so i just got the board and i installed the cpu, the graphic card, and the sata and the basic things. Well it shows a green light on and i try to start it up, nothing appears on the screen, I mean everything is running like the video card, the cpu fan but the screen is just pear blank on stand by. So what am I doing wrong? Btw i resetted the CMOS but nothing happens. Also it doesn't beep or anything.

Hate to be the jerk, but you are supposed to wait 24 hours before you bump your own thread.

As to your problem:
Since you have already cleared the CMOS, try removing everything except CPU, 1 stick of RAM, and video card. See if you can get it to post that way. If that works, then one of your ram sticks could be bad.

Make sure it isn't touching any metal and that it has proper spacing (using the stand offs that you screw into).
