Have you got the little speaker wired up that came with your case? Should look like this thing: Looking at the manual for the motherboard the header for it is number 15: Chassis Intrusion and Speaker Header (SPK_CI1) Make sure thats plugged in and fire up the PC, do you get any beeps? How many?

Cool, 3 beeps, assuming they're 3 short beeps, normally means RAM. First take out the stick of RAM in the third slot and boot it up, if you get 1 beep this is good. To see if one of the sticks is dead, swap the stick of ram in the first slot with the one you took out, Boot it again with only the 1 stick in there and see what happens. If you can get 1 beep with each RAM stick alone in slot 1, then we probably just need to check they're seated right and in the right places (I think slots 2 and 4 is the recommended config on this motherboard when you have 2 sticks) Ahdinko fucked around with this message at 09:05 on May 23, 2016 |

Three beeps in every scenario? Also I sent ya a PM the other day, check it out Let's try 1 stick of ram in the second slot and the other one left out. Also lets ensure you're seating it right as RAM can be a bit of a bugger, especially if you're not used to it. To seat the ram, push the little black clips on the slot outwards. Make sure your stick is the right way round with the notch, and place it in the slot. Press down with your thumbs on the top of the ram stick at the ends. It's seated right when the little clips move themselves back into the upright position, sometimes they are real easy, sometimes it takes a bit of force. Edit: Helps when I say the right colour

Thats the third slot, go for slot 2. Thats one to the left of where it currently is. You're probably using too small a screw, you should have had 3-4 different types of screws that came with the case, play with one of the little brass mounts and some screws outside of the case and see which screws fit. Edit: These should be the screws that came with your case, use the ones in the bottom left of the picture. http://www.tweaktown.com/image.php?image=imagescdn.tweaktown.com/content/5/5/5521_24_cooler_master_n200_chassis_review_full.jpg Ahdinko fucked around with this message at 17:44 on May 23, 2016 |

It looks like you got the brass mounts under them (although i cant tell if you've put some additional ones in the wrong place) but you're probably using the wrong screws for all of them. They're probably just popping out there because of the weight of the GPU. Have you got the screws in the picture with the hexagonal head as apparently thats what ships with your case although it could be outdated or something Try a stick of RAM in the second slot (and none in any other slots) before resorting to what Col.Kiwi said about pulling it all out as its going to be ballache. To clarify with the slots, I'm numbering them 1-4, with 1 being the left most in that picture and 4 being the right most. Ahdinko fucked around with this message at 18:06 on May 23, 2016 |

Give us a picture of a ram stick in slot 2 just to make sure as you had it in slot 3 in the last photo Generally the only reason a screw pops out of what you screwed it into in any application, not just computers, is because the screw is too small Ahdinko fucked around with this message at 18:31 on May 23, 2016 |

Yeah, if you're still getting the three beeps with the ram in all the slots, then the ram or the motherboard is probably shagged. Col.kiwis suggestion will tell you if it was shagged from factory or not

Basically, you're looking for evidence of physical damage. If it looks like it got all mangled, you're in trouble. If it looks good, you can just send it back and ask for a new one. Stuff can be broken in different ways, and 3 beeps basically means "huge RAM error" It could be dead ram or it could be a defective RAM circuit on the motherboard. But given you've got two sticks of ram, the likelyhood of both of em being dead is lower than 1 motherboard being dead Ahdinko fucked around with this message at 19:06 on May 23, 2016 |

Glad you got it working! Get Windows on there using the usb thing you made and install the drivers on the motherboard CD (copy them to a usb pen too) Install the motherboard drivers which will ensure you can get on the internet, and then goto the manufacturers website for your motherboard, ssd and gpu and get the latest drivers for it. Then install steam and preload total war for release 8am tomorrow!!
