System Specs:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z
ASUS R9 270X OC
FX-6300 (stock)

Sandisk 64 GB SSD
CoolerMaster 1000W 80+ bronze PSU
So. Here I am, assembling my first PC, and BAM.
Straight in the face, a shiny, glowing red LED signifying a CPU problem. I'm not sure what info to give you guys, but any help will be appreciated.

Yeah I have.. Although I had to manually, since for some BS reason, my mounting thingy popped off. But I checked and all the connectors seem fine. Maybe is my RAM not compatible? I would assume a well known brand like Patriot would work fine..

Nope, definitely RMA it. Amazon is great with that if you purchased it off of Amazon.
