Hi

I have a Asrock x58 supercomputer with intel core i7 920, 12 GB of Supert Talent RAM (6x2GB) and a EVGA GTX 285.

When I turn on the computer is makes 3 short beep sounds and no display signal at all in my monitor.

This is the list of thing I have done so far:

Resetting the CMOS: I put the jumper in the pin 2 and 3 for 15 seconds like the manual says, then I put it in its original position.

I also try to turn the computer on when the jumper was in the pin 2 and 3 (clear position) and the computer wont start with the jumper in that position.

Tested all the ram memorys in the first white module also tested in pairs in the first and second white modules.

Turn the computer on without any memory, it still gives me 3 short beeps.

Turn the computer on without the graphic card, it still gives me 3 short beeps.

Turn the computer on without any memory and graphic card, it still gives me 3 short beeps.

Turn the computer on without the hard drive connected, it still gives me 3 short beeps.

Please help me out I don't know what to do.

You can check the beep codes using the sticky: BIOS Beep Codes/Error Codes

Thanks Dogg, I already check that page it says is a RAM problem but I tested all 6 modules and it still beeps.

Is Supert Talent RAM on the approved list for your Mobo?
Brand & Model of the PSU?

I would suggest a Bench Test

1) Remove EVERYTHING from the case
2) Set the motherboard on a non conductive surface. The motherboard box is perfect for this. DO NOT PLACE THE MOTHERBOARD ON THE STATIC BAG! It can actually conduct electricity! We are going to try and assemble a running system outside of the case.
3) Install the CPU and heat sink.
4) Install 1 stick of RAM.
5) Install the video card and attach the power supply connection(s) to the card if your card needs it.
6) Connect the monitor to the video card.
7) Connect the power supply to the motherboard with both the 24pin main ATX Power connection and the separate 4 or 8 pin power connection.
8) Connect power to the power supply.
9) Do NOT connect ANYTHING else. Make sure you have the power connector on the CPU fan connected.
10) Use a small screwdriver to momentarily short the power switch connector on the motherboard. Consult your motherboard manual to find which two pins connect to your case's power switch. Then touch both pins with a screwdriver to complete the circuit and boot the system.

If all is well, it should power up and you should get a display. Then assemble the parts into the case and try again. If the system now fails to boot, you have a short in the case and need to recheck your motherboard standoffs.

If the system does not boot after this process, then you most likely have a faulty component. You'll need to swap parts, start with the power supply, until you determine what is defective.
