That mobo comes with integrated graphics. Pull the add-on card and try booting. Might be worthwhile pulling the add-on card, pulling cmos battery for a couple minutes, replacing battery and booting.

Usually the add-on card will let you boot anyway BUT who knwos.

How much ram?

They say stick to 2 Gb; http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Pr...=1&DetailName=Specification&MenuID=46&LanID=0

Are you getting one comforting single BEEP on post?

If not, something you bought or how you connected it is amiss.

Sometimes.disassembly and re-assembly OUTSIDE the case helps to find a problem. Using only 1 or the other of your Ram modules can also be tried.

There are Guides here under a heading like that about fail to boot or some such. Look there also.
