Video problem?

[StepNik]

AtHi, I am a new builder, and I built my first ever pc. Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem. When I turn on my PC, there is no video/bios, and only a non-stop 3 second long beep, separated by 1 second of silence. Tried turning it off and on. Did nothing. Everything is plugged in, fans are spinning, CPU is hot. My motherboard uses integrated graphics, ati Radeon 3000, and that's how connected my screen to PC. There is no problem with the cable as it works perfectly with my optiplex 780, which probably has even worse graphics. Power supply is a trusted one from evga 500w with a 80+ guarantee. Ram is 16 gb of ddr3 and is correctly plugged in. Hard drive is powered and connected to the motherboard via sata. Cannot be a problem with the bios as it has two chips, a main and a backup. The bios is award I think. There are only 3 ways that work to turn off the PC: unplugging the cord, switching off the switch on the power supply, and holding down the power off button. Pls send help.

Sounds like it could a ram issue. Do you see any red lights?

Not at all. All of my 4 4gig ddr3 stics are plugged in tight and are

locked.

Try testing with one stick. Also you have an AMD FX CPU I assume. You might want to reset bios first.

Tried every possible one stick combination with every stick. However, without ram at all, I achieve the same result.

So it still beeps 3 times?

It beeps for 3 seconds, then stays quiet for one second. No changes, except that my CPU fan started spinng like crazy

On Gigabyte's site they list that 3 short beep ：basic memory 64K address check error. Do you have any DDR3 RAM lying around, also what RAM do you have?

Oh no wonder, you got ECC memory. Those are for servers. You can't run those on consumer boards exactly unless they support it. You should return those if you can, or you have to replace them with a DDR3 non ECC ones.
