Computer won't post

[Cole Henning]

Hi, I am 13 years old and just built a new computer for Christmas. When I got home today form school my computer was on a black screen but all the case fans were running. When I opened up the case the DRAM LED on on the motherboard was solid red. I reset the computer and it didn't post. I've checked the Motherboard Manual and have already tested each of the memory dimms. Nothing has fixed the problem so far. Any help?

Thanks!

System Specs:

AMD A10 5800k 3.8 Ghz

ASUS F2A85 V-PRO Motherboard

8gb of Corsair 1866mhz RAM

AMD Radeon HD 6670

Corsair CX 430 Power supply

And all the RAM tested okay? Have you tried them on a different computer?

I got it working in the second dimm slot instead of the first. But it did post saying on the screen "Overclocking Failed Press F1 to go into BIOS" is that ok?

That is a feature of ASUS motherboards. It means you have had a hardware failure. Just hit F1. It means you previously failed to overclock. Just hit F1 and it will send to to the BIOS.
