Hi again yall, Its been a few years since my last post but im back again with another problem.
I recently tried installing an FX type cpu into my crosshair iv formula. At the time i did not realize that cpu type was and is not supported on my board, so of course it did not boot or post. I then reinstalled my older phenom x4 955 be back into my board tried booting and it still wouldn't post. Now my mobo has some lights lit up. Once i try booting the red CPU led flashes back and forth with the DRAM led 3 times untill it stops on the DRAM led which then stays lit for about 5 seconds until the CPU led flashes once again and back to the DRAM led.
I have tried all the RMA steps along with 1 ram chip in each slot with or without the cpu connected and updating my bios to no avail. because my system will not post i purchased a new and updated bios chip, slapped it in and still have the same problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

System specs:
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula with updated BIOS chip.
Phenom II x4 955BE CPU
4GB Mushkin PC3-10666 DDR3/ 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X PC3-10666 DDR3 DRAM
ASUS R280X GPU
Corsair TW750x PSU
Sandisk Extreme 240GB SSD


Thanks in advance peoples!!
