2x2 sticks of Patriot Sector5 Ram (4 Gigs in total DDR3) Running dual channel with two slots open. PC3-12800 MHZ
The motherboard is Biostar A770E3 AM2+ Compatible.
Processor is AMD 6-Core 2.86 GHZ Phenom II. (1055T)
Video Card is a GeForce GT 430 (1024 MB of DDR3 RAM.)
1 Terabyte Sata-II 7200 RPM Hard drive.
(Old IDE DVD drive as temp-Ordering new one soon)
So, the problem is: On boot up it won't boot from any discs or usb drives. I haven't installed anything to this computer, I've never built a computer from scratch, but I have put them together hundreds of times before.
The only thing that the computer displays after boot is this "Hardware Monitor" It tells me the specs of the system.
Anything that might help is appreciated. And if I find the answer, I'll be sure to post it.

eww biostar, anyway have u gone into bios and set the boot order , recheck all the cables / power n data connected ?
Is your cd drive IDE ? Is it cbl select or set as master or slave ?
Usually set the cd as master alone with 1 hdd sata connected.
Or if hdd and cd are IDE , use the same cable with hdd as master and cd as slave.

I've checked and rechecked each of the cables in the computer. Yes, I've gone into the bios and changed the boot order, I've also pressed F9 and selected which device to boot from.
The drives are set properly~I'm not really a novice at this. I've actually never asked a forum for help before.

Your sure the cd IDE is master by itself on end of chain ? Some cdroms only like cbl select with some mbs.
Did u enable sata in bios too ?

The IDE cable is definitely a master, with the end of the cable used.
The hard drive isn't the problem, as I've never installed anything onto it before. In order to install something on it~I need a disc drive that reads discs. Right?
I've tried a USB memory stick and it didn't boot either. I've got someone to lend me a Sata DVD burner. As the motherboard is naturally SATA-II anyway.
Thinking on it, I've come to the conclusion that it must be the ancient technology that the motherboard simply doesn't recognize without the drivers.
If there is anything in between that might help~
Like, I haven't installed the BIOS drivers yet, because it can't read the discs to get the drivers.

Don't think your wanting to solve your problem.
As I already asked .....
Is the jumper on CDROM set to master? Maybe "cable select " if not noticed when on master.
Did u enable sata in the bios.
Bring it here I'll fix it or tell u what broke in 10 minutes !!
Now your forcing my hand lol
I have to ask what this exactly means

Uh, I believe that the motherboard is SATA-II and therefore as I've said, the SATA ports work just fine :P
I think you wouldn't be able to fix it in ten minutes xD
Yes, again, I said the CD drive is set to master.
As well
It means, I've taken apart and rebuilt already built computers hundreds of times. But I've never purchased a mobo and all the parts and put them together and installed everything.
I think you're starting to sound arrogant.
It's not appreciated.

But youve missed what I suggested,
Try this ....
Make sure you remove the power cord from the back first.
Unplug all hdd and CDROM
Unscrew the CDROM and take it out, now check where it says the lil jumper should b to make it master.
Now put the CDROM back in and make sure it's on the end of the IDE cable.
Now see if u can boot the cd, if not, remove the CDROM again and put the lil jumper on cable select.
Put it back in and see if u can boot.
If the it does boot either as master or cbl select then try another IDE cable and/or CDROM
If you get the CDROM working reconnect the hdd , go into the bios and find where it enables sata and make sure it's enabled.
If neither the Ide or the sata don't work I would think bad mobo or maybe although less likely the psu or try switching ram
I would also check the temperatures inside the bios
Last hope reseat the CPU
Computers eh

It doesn't make any beeps.
I know that the mobo isn't updated~No discs or memory sticks work on this computer.
