Does your computer make any beeping sounds when it is powered on? Your motherboard has a built-in speaker mounted on the board that sounds error codes.

I see you have the DG965WHMKR, should have integrated graphics in that configuration. You didn’t mention a video card, so I’m assuming you’re using the integrated video provided on the motherboard.

Let’s see if this is a RAM issue. Please see if you can verify with the below:

The correct way to install 2 matched pair of RAM of equal speed and size in your specific motherboard, is to have one RAM in Channel A DIMM 0 (blue) and the other RAM in Channel B DIMM 0 (blue). You would not use any of the black RAM slots on the motherboard.

If you want to get your LEDs working:

Your front panel LED connections are on the bottom edge of your motherboard, on the side where the lithium battery is. Should be two colums x 10 connectors. Your two-conductor power LED is stacked vertically, plugged into left-bottom of the bank. If that’s correct and you’re not getting the power LED when you power the computer on, reverse the position of the power LED cable when you plug it in and it should now work.

Your motherboard also has an alternate Power LED directly to the right of the front panel LED bank. It is arranged horizontally and is a two bank connector. You can try this as a last resort, and try the reverse polarity.

Your LED for the hard drive two-conductor cable is stacked vertically and plugged into right-bottom of the bank. Again, reverse polarity of the cable if it doesn’t work. Refer to Page 42 Diagram E.

If your computer won't POST, it’s usually because some settings in the BIOS are incorrect with regard to timings and clock speeds or the RAM is installed incorrectly. However, if this is a brand new out of box motherboard it should not have this problem. Can you try hitting F2 a couple times during power-on and see if you can enter the BIOS?

If you're in the area of 91911, I'll get it working free of charge.
