so my old Alienware I've been using for about the last 8 years finally stopped working, the processor went up so i decided to get a new processor, low and behold to get anything good I had to upgrade the motherboard since the new processors wouldn't fit into the old board, so this is my current setup:
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z (Rev 1.01)
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz
750w 80+ Alienware PSU
(2) G.Skill 8GB Ram (Total of 16GB)
(2) ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics cards
512GB HDD (from my old computer)
Everything is plugged in, all the lights come on, all the fans run and it goes through the motions of booting, but it won't post, I get a Q Code 99 (Super IO Initialization) and a Q LED (Boot Device LED) I've tried calling asus and several other places and they give me the simple answer of "It should all work." Well it doesn't and i need my computer for many aspects including streaming and making money, so I need to get this sorted, at first I thought it was the board to I RMA'd it and got another one, it's doing the exact same thing so I'm starting to think it's not the board, the 4pin 8pin and 24 pin connectors are all plugged in, the graphics cards are all plugged in as well, I've tried the 1 GPU 1 RAM ect ect, nothing I can come up with seems to work, PLEASE HELP!
