Hey guys ,

My spec :
Asus Z87 A
Intel i5 4670K boxed
2 × 4 gb Ddr3 ballistix by crucial cl9 1600 mhz
AMD GPU (don't know it exactly sorry, if needed I look it up, I'm on my smartphone ATM)
Be quiet black 1000W

I wanted to upgrade my system with a new CPU, ram and mobo.
After installing the components I realised that the red CPU led was on.
I did some troubleshooting already and benched.
Currently there's only the CPU and hsf outside of the case installed.
9 out of 10 times the CPU led stays red , 1 out of 10 the check is successful and it stays red on the ram led (I guess because I don't have the ram installed ? )

Does someone now what I could try, or how I can find out if the main board or the CPU is defect.
(Pins are not visible damaged , reinstalled the cooler in different directions)

Thank you for your time in advance

 
Solution
The screws for the motherboard come with the case.
I'd suggest sending in both your CPU and motherboard and they'll be able to figure it out for you. :)

Wow that was fast :)
I don't have a second CPU I could try on this socket. I guess I have to send back the mobo without knowing the problem. Or I'm gonna talk with the customer support send back booth and let them figure it out

Edit : could it be i didn't get a new no mono from the retailer or is it the norm that there aren't screws delivered with the mobo ?(I had to use the old ones )
