My machine won't POST, has no image on screen, but has LEDs and fans spinning. I put in an on board speaker, and I get three long beeps that repeat. My question is, what does this indicate? The manual doesn't list any codes.
The PSU and VGA adapter are known good.
CPU is Intel 6600K, RAM is 2 x 8GB DDR4 2666 G.SKILL Ripjaws 5 modules. Interestingly, 2666 isn't listed as compatible but speeds lower and higher are listed. Could it be failed RAM modules or a speed this board can't handle? No sticks in the board produces the same 3 tones. Single sticks in any slot also produce the same tones.
