Help with setup..... Blank Screen, Long Post Beeps.. A8N-E

[Onefastdak02]

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
Moving the Single Ram to b1... 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

Might need a bios update to run the venice core.

Take a look at this thread:

The alt+f2 function should work for your board, it's pretty much the same for all asus nforce 4 models. Just make sure you get the right bios and have a floppy handy. Make sure all power connectors that might be required are attached. Also you said you tried one stick, swap it with the other one to see if you have a bad stick. I'm getting that board soon and it's what I will be doing to make it compatible with the venice core. I guess you don't have access to a winchester that would allow you to try?
