Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M
RAM: Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (two 4GB DIMMs)
CPU: Intel Core i5 3550, stock heat sink/fan
The DRAM light comes on and the computer only beeps (one long, two short), both suggesting a memory problem. There is nothing on the screen. I've never used the mobo, RAM, or CPU before, and unfortunately have no other machine to test them on. The PSU is reused, but known good (I was using it just yesterday). I have no video card or drives plugged in; I'm using on-board video until the thing POSTs.
I currently have one DIMM in the A2 slot, as the mobo manual suggests. I've tried switching the DIMM with the other and switching slots. The DIMM is in all the way and is not inserted the wrong way or anything.
I tried letting the MemOK! feature run all its tests. All it did was the same thing as before, only with the LED blinking and the computer occasionally rebooting as the test continued (which the test is supposed to do) until the test completed with no result.
Any ideas?
