New out of the box mobo, doing the first test boot with i5 devils canyon and one stick of ram only. Didn't boot, went through a few "no display" troubleshooting guides, no joy.
Left the setup on my table overnight, gave it another "oh what the hell" boot - and it worked!
Got into the first BIOS screen, looked like everything was fine, but when i restarted it was back to doing what it did before that one successful boot.
A typical boot goes like this: on-board LEDs cycle through a few times, the Qcode board readout switches between a few codes, but often pauses for long periods of time on 4F (DXE IPL is started) and 32 (CPU post-memory initialization) then repeats the cycle again - CPU LED, MEM LED, "4F", "32", repeat... Eventually in one of these cycles it will get stuck, usually on 4F or 32 but others as well - 19, 13, etc - but only one time each.
I've tried using the BIOS USB Flashback feature, but does "5 secs of blinking light followed by solid light" which indicates error.
I was about to just start the return process, but that one successful boot is making me want to keep at it. Do I have a defective mobo or does anyone have any ideas or something else I can try?
