I just installed a z97m plus mATX motherboard with an i5 4690k replacing the default mobo and processor of a dell studio 540, and I had installed a gtx650 and a better PSU previously.
With the new configuration, when the computer receives power, it briefly powers on, the fans spin momentarily, and the DRAM LED blinks red a few times. The first time it received power, it beeped once, but in attempts to start it after that, there were no beeps. I've attempted to rearrange the RAM (2 4gb sticks that are XMS3 by corsair) to no avail.
I suspect it's because the front panel connectors are not suited to this board, because the pins don't completely match, and the case is from 2009 while the board is new. Would I be correct?
