i am building a pc. i bought a barebones kit and added a video card and ram and when i power it up i get no signal to the monitor and it just keeps beeping 1 long beep every 5 seconds or so? anyone every encountered anything like this before?
Make sure that all of your components are properely installed. Consult all manuals. Reduce it to only the key hardware: CPU, Mobo RAM and Vid card I think. Just some ideas. Wish I could be more helpfull...
Make sure everything is compatible, ex: the motherboard. Other than that you can strip it down and start over over I guess, just go over everything, and all the manuals like chump said.
