Reseat the Ram it might not be in all the way. Are you clipping the clips or are they automatically clipping when you push the ram in?

Yes you need a video card to get a boot, monitor no.

ive seated the ram... ive pushed it in so hard... you won't believe... i let it clip itself then hit the clips as well... it is definitely in there... any more help? please... thanks

just tried with the monitor and video card that I know work... no dice... I am sure the processor core is not crushed as I took it off and reapplied arctic silver and reattached it... is there something small I could be missing? Like a missed plug or something is in the wrong socket? Do I need fans to be plug into the board? Because currently none of them are... there are a few things coming out of the PSU that I have not used that are not regular 4 pin, they are odd shaped, must I use these?

Anything guys? Thanks a lot...

The 8k7a does not require fans to be hooked up, the only power supply connector needed is the atx one.

The board or cpu are probably defective.
Without having a known good board to test the cpu or a known good cpu to test in the board there is no sure way to tell.

If you don't have a freind or family member with either a amd board or cpu you can use for testing maybe try taking the board,cpu and memory to a local computer repair shop where they can test them so you will know for sure what is bad.
