Oh sorry i somehow read they didnt spin... Does it show any postcode (if it has a postcode display), how is the drive activity led and are all the displays plugged properly?

it does boot up with my other pentium g3430 and there is no post display but i have a post speaker that beeps at the boot with 3430 but it doesnt beep with the 3258
