Hi guys hopefully someone can help

I have this mobo
http://www.takealot.com/computers/msi-amd-a75ma-e35-chipset-socket-fm2,28049552

Using this processor
http://www.takealot.com/computers/amd-a8-5600k-3-6ghz-quad-core-socket-fm2,27532278

Running this RAM
http://www.memoryamerica.com/hmt351u6cfr8c-pb.html

Also have a GT430 graphics card.

Now the problem, this motherboard won't display anything either by the on board graphics or graphics card. It won't even beep if the ram is removed so I'm really lost to what's wrong. The fan spins etc. But no POST or display.

Sorry for format sent from mobile.

Return it back to where you got it from as it sounds faulty.
 
If its not posting at all I' not sure there is anything you can do about it without special equipment.

Everything is new except the RAM and graphics card.

It seems to look fine on the inside. if your gfx card takes PCI-E make sure its connected. Also can you boot up to the BOIS? If not try removing the BIOS battery for 10 min it should reset everything to factory default you should be able to get into the BIOS once in make sure that the graphics configuration is on PCI-E.
 
I had a compatibility issue with my psu of all things, mobo didn't want to post, tried building the pc out of the case etc. Tried a different psu and booted first time. Maybe try that.
 
Ok guys, thanks for the help. I got it sorted don't ask me how. I used my psu from my 8 year old PC and it some how worked, tried my new psu and it also worked so in situations like this you just let it go.

Adam_g is spot on! Infact its one of the options you can try but if it doesn't work remove the graphics card first and run it! At the bios there is where you can set up PCI slots to respond and then finish the software installation when the PC has started! Provided the card is not damaged!:wtf:
