make sure your video out is plugged into your graphics card and also check you cpu power cable the 4\8 pin one and you 24 pin motherboard connector
already did
Thats werid It may be defective is the lever on the cpu socket and every thing else in place if so there is a possablity that the cpu or the motherboard is defective.
yea the lever is down
im guessing you read the motherboard manual that tells you what the beep codes mean for that particular board.
You put the CPU in the correct way? usually have to match two corners up.
i did and yea i checked the manual
