not sure if this is where to post, but its my first time so go easy on me 
i recently purchased an asus sabertooth X79 mobo with an intel Xeon E5-2660 ES version cpu. (Dont worry i contacted intel and they said it was ok i kept it because i was an enthusiast, not using it for business or research) Anyway, here are my other specs:>
>Diablotek 775w psu
>1x8GB DDR3 RAM from G.Skill (it is a dual channel 16GB kit, but im loaning the other 8gb stick to my friend)
>Thor V2 case, just got it
>Corsair H100i, just got it
>1TB Seagate HDD 7200rpm
>Soundblaster Recon 3D audio card
>EVGA GTX760 sc>
I put everything together yesterday and i turned it on and all the fans, hdd, and gpu turned on high, then settled in to the normal rpm. everything was running; no error LED's were lit either. IT ran for about 60 seconds, with nothing ever coming on the screen and then died abruptly, waited 5 seconds, then turned back on and repeated. it will do this cycle for as long as i want, but never any screen. I reseated the RAM and gpu to no avail. The guy i bought the Xeon from said he tested it on an asus sabertooth, but that i needed the 0802 bios version because of the cpu's B1 stepping. Would this (bios version) be the cause? should i just use the bios flash option, or is it
hardware related?
Update: ok i checked all the connections and watched it while i turned it on. I just noticed that a millisecond before it dies, the cpu led blinks and then its dead. Its so fast whatever the issue is, its with the cpu, and it terminates immediately
