My brand-new system is not booting or reaching any kind of Post. Specs are as follows:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-HD2
CPU: AMD Athlon 760K [AD760KWOHLBOX] (installed with golden arrow lining up correctly)
CPU Cooler: Stock with CPU (and it is plugged in)
GPU: Asus Radeon HD 6570 1GB Video Card (confirmed it works in other machines)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (Plugged in firmly)
PSU: Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (confirmed it fully powers up other machines) (and yes it is connected, both the 24-pin and 8-pin connectors)
When I connect everything up, turn on the PSU and jump the power button connector, the CPU and GPU fans begin running, but there is no Post and nothing displays on the screen. I have tried connecting my screen to both the GPU and onboard VGA port.
Most of the information for this board seems to have had a APU with integrated graphics in mind, but since I already had a graphics card and this CPU was listed as compatible, I didn't think that would be an issue. This is the second motherboard I have tried with these components, so I am seriously thinking that it is not just a faulty motherboard. Any ideas? Something I'm missing that the mobo requires to post? An incompatibility that I'm unaware of? Thanks in advance for your help.
