I just got my new PSU from OCZ through an RMA, and I have done a breadboard build. I get a red LED on the memOk area of the motherboard, however I have tried both 2gb sticks of ram in each of the 4 RAM slots (A1,A2,B1,B2). Do I need to buy a new motherboard? I am leaning towards Gigabyte z77d3h because I want a board that is reliable over feature filled.

OCZ PSU's are lower quality so the old one could have done some damage if it failed.
Remove all RAM, power on, listen for beep codes from the Mobo speaker. No RAM and no beeps indicates a Mobo problem.
If you need a new Mobo, Asus & Gigabyte are the better brand choices.
Note: the OS is tied to the present Mobo so replacing it will require a reinstall of the OS.

I do not believe I have a speaker, so where would I find one and which pin(s) does it plug into when I do have one?

CPU i5 3750k
RAM kingston hyperx genesis 2x2gb
PSU: OCZ ZT series 750w 80+ bronze
mobo: asus p8z77-v LX
graphics: Gigabyte amd 7850

doesn't matter about the speaker. I always use asus boards and never include the speaker.

If te memok button is glowing red and you get the reboot loop then it means your ram is not compatible and will not work BUT if you are overclocking then it is very likely that you need to increase your memory voltage and memory controller volatge.

Any PC shop will have a Mobo speaker and the Mobo manual will have instructions and/or a pic of where it goes.
My assumption was this is a build that had worked previously and had a failed PSU replaced.
If it's a new build, Hyper X RAM is no stranger to compatibility problems.
What are the specs on the RAM?
