I'm here to ask the smart folks of these forums to see if I've overlooked something in testing my motherboard or if it should be RMA'd, full list of specifications/parts is at the bottom of the post. Dr. Debug is displaying a 00 code, doesn't seem to POST and nothing displays on my monitor. However all my fans spin up and what not. These are the following things I've done to see if the problem lies elsewhere in my layout. At first I thought it might be that my RAM is incompatible (as it didn't show in the list of compatible RAM by AsRock) but I'll explain why I don't think that is the issue in the list. After each of these attempts I rebooted the computer to see if it would work properly.

1. Seated RAM in A2 and then B2 slot at different times, nothing.
2. Removed GPU and tried booting using the onboard video.
3. Removed CPU to check for bent pins, did not yield any results.
4. Removed CMOS battery and reseated to clear BIOS.
5. Removed ALL RAM, booted no beeps, or anything just posted 00 code.

Since I was able to remove all the RAM with no beeping, it makes me think I need to return the motherboard and replace it. What is everyone else thoughts? Thanks!

The CPU fan is spinning. This is a new CPU I already RMA'd the last one. And yes it is a completely new setup.

Absolutely I just bought it from Microcenter yesterday, I was just making sure there was nothing I was overlooking that could be causing the issue. I've had people I know return parts to NewEgg, MC, etc. that were "DOA" and it was something as simple that they missed plugging in the CPU cable from the PSU haha. I don't want to be THAT person. Thanks for your help!
