Help needed in new build

[larry38]

I am in the process of building a new computer for my daughter. A description of the system is shown in this thread

Will this video card work in this build?

At the moment, I have the mobo out of the case with the cpu/fan assy installed, 1 stick of
RAM in place and the video card seated. I have reseated everything carefully two times. I have the two power connectors (both 24 pin and 8 pin) seated. When I connect my monitor to this and power it up all of the fans run (cpu fan and video card fan) but I do not get any video displayed. Does anyone have any suggestions that I might try? Thanks for your help, Larry

Ok, I've got it. I noticed the mem ok LED light was burning continuously. After reading a little more in the manual, apparently a glitch developed. By pushing the MEM ok switch, it cleared and the system booted as expected. So now it is on the rest of the assembly. Hopefully all will go as it should. I thought I would try to explain what I found and perhaps save someone else some time.

"MEM OK!" switch usually illuminates when there is some form of a RAM incompatibility with the motherboard. If any mem stick is not properly seated and BIOS oc it also will give you mem ok! indication.
