I have read through the other posts with people having a similar problem, but I can't find the same problem.. its a new build all the parts are new

Specs:

AMD 939, 3000+ Venice
Asus A8N-E
MSI RX800 PCI-E
400 watt Antec Smartpower (24 pin)
Corsair VS 1g (2X512)
Dell 1905fs

Whats happening:

Hooked everything up, powers up, (all fans are running, LED on board is green, Fan on the GPU is on) but nothing shows up my monitor. Hooked up an internal speaker, and I get a series of long beeps... but thats it...

What I have tried:

Resetting the CMOS.. nothing
Pulled out the GPU, reinstalled it... nothing
Pulled out one 512 of RAM, (leaving 1, in slot a1).. nothing

Does anyone have a link to the ASUS beep codes, I can't find them anywhere on thier site..

This is my first build, and naturally expected trouble, but I can't find the references for the beep codes anywhere, and don't know what to do..

Anyone else had this problem with A8N-e? all I can find are the SLI boards..


Thanks

Plug some speakers in, that board has voice post reporter. It will say stuff like "System failed VGA test" or "System failed CPU test" etc... etc....

Its the value ram. It doesn't work in dual channel with this board. I'm having the same problems. There is another thread in here about it.

I think there is a group of us with this problem, I am going to try some different ram this weekend, any idea for which input you plug the speaker into for the voice post?

One more thing. Don't take what it says word for word. Know your order of booting. At a LANParty, my ASUS P4P800-e Deluxe died once, and said "CPU Failed to Pass System Test." I wasn't overclocking, so I knew my CPU was fine. Turned out to be my power supply. So don't take what it says literally.

-Pull out a stick of ram (boot with 1)
-Disconnect your harddrive
-Be sure the plugs are tight
-Clear the CMOS (always helps for me)
-Try a different stick of RAM or a different power supply.

The issue I usually have is loose contact. While going to LANS and stuf some of my power plugs (20-pin and 4-pins) tend to get loose. Hope that helps a bit.
Worst case scenario:
- Damaged board (Newegg and ASUS's RMA policy are generally good)
- Static. The nForce4 chipset is one of the most vulerable chipset to ESD. Be sure you're grounded... and leave your computer sitting for at least 20 seconds before messing around wtih it.

Edit: Wow. Don't even know HOW that happened
