I've gone through and replaced just about every part on my new build and still can't get the mobo to post to bios. Parts I've replaced: motherboard (this is my second from Newegg), memory, GPU and power. The only one last thing is the CPU, but I didn't think I even needed that to get to the bios. I took the CPU out of the equation and still nada. Wow, I miss onboard video now.

I tried bios flashback twice and I'm still left wondering if I have another defective mobo. Any thoughts? I'm running out of time to return the CPU, but I don't see how that could be the problem here. Am I wrong?

Parts: GPU - EVGA GTX 750 ti, PSU - Rosewill BRONZE Series RBR1000-M, RAM - Crucial 32GB Kit (8GBx4) DDR4 2133 MT/s, CPU - Intel Core i7-5960X.

Well, it turned out that the CPU was never actually completely seated. I pulled it and cleaned it up for return shipping. After getting all of the compound off, I decided I'd try one last time before packing it up. When I latched the socket, I heard and felt a click I hadn't heard before. At first I thought I'd broken a pin, but then I saw the AE Qcode - huzzah! I re-applied compound and put the cooler back on and now I'm in business. Crikey!
