This is a new build and the system ran for about 2-3 hours before the problem occured. It all started when I noticed that one of my ram sticks didn't show up in windows. I opened up the case and looked at the sticks to see if they were properly seated they looked right but i decided to reseat them anyway. When I went to turn the computer back on the system and everything was running but the red cpu led came on indicating there was a problem with the cpu. I figured it must have died so I decided to just rma it as well as the RAM sticks.
The problem is now the computer wont turn off unless I hit the switch on the psu. Is this a normal thing? Also should I worry about replacing the board? The cpu socket looks perfectly fine but I'm wondering if maybe one of the RAM slots might be defective instead of the sticks. Is there anyway to test them without a cpu?
