Below is my specs. I put everything together yesterday (minus ssd, hasn't arrived). After putting it all together, I had issues where it wouldn't POST or give beeps, so I stripped everything down to the just PSU, cpu, and memory. I tried every configuration of memory, and I can use either stick by itself in any memory slot, but if I use both it goes into an infinite loop boot restart cycle. Fans will spin, LED's light up, then a few seconds later it all dies down before starting up again. At this point, the power button on the case and on the motherboard no longer respond and I have to cut the power with the PSU switch. If I use 1 stick of ram, and the video card, it boots but I get no signal to the monitor using either the motherboard HDMI or the video card HDMI. At this point, I'm at a loss. I installed windows using just 1 stick of ram, thinking I could maybe install the Asus utilities and see if maybe there was a BIOS and drivers update, but no dice there. Anyone have any suggestions moving forward?
