New Desktop PC No Beeps Nothing on Monitor
Hello. I'm trying to make a new desktop PC. It's the 2nd PC in my system specs. I put together the computer parts and pushed the power button. The fans and power LED came on and the hard drive makes noise, but there are no beeps and nothing happened on the monitor screen. I bought two of the same motherboard to try to make sure I had an extra one if it couldn't be replaced later by warranty for some reason. The same thing happened with both motherboards. I tried using both the onboard video (or whatever it's called) and a graphics card, and I tried using two different monitors too. I disconnected the monitor and the hard drives and the DVD drive and removed the memory thingos, but it still wouldn't even make beeps.
I got the case speaker thingo (little round black thingo) from Amazon.com. I didn't see anything that came with the PC case to plug into where the motherboard says 7-pin SPK_PLED1, and the only connectors listed in the PC case manual thing to plug in along that same part of the motherboard are HD Audio, POWER SW, RESET SW, HDD LED, POWER LED+, AND POWER LED-, which are all I see in the PC case, so I don't know if the thing I bought and plugged in to the motherboard where it says SPK_PLED1 should make beeps.
I'm not very knowledgeable about computers. Can you guys suggest what to do next? Thank you.
