guys,

I have just bought some new bits from ocuk to build me uber rig and I cant get the bugger to boot.

CPU - intel core 2 duo E6600
Mobo - asus P5b
gfx - bfg 7900 gt oc 256meg
mem - gskill 2gig DDR2 ZX PC2-6400
psu - 520w ocz modstream

I have put all the parts together correctly (i have built at least 20 pc's in my time) but when powered on fans spin, no beeps and no display on monitor.
Thought it was gfx card, so tried an old pci emergency card i keep to test motherboards, again nothing.
I have removed the memory and I get three beeps which according to amibios is memory issue so it looks like the mobo is at leat working at low level...

Asus suggest that the system needs a bios upgrade, i have bought a 3 gig celeron d to attempt to get the system booted and again this doesnt work yeilding the same results as the e6600 cpu. Im thinking either duff mobo or memory isnt suitable.

please please please please help......nearly £1k down the drain
