Solution alexoiu Mar 7, 2015 Are both 24 and 8 pin power cables connected? If yes, start the board with only CPU and CPU fan installed. See if the CPU fan does spin.

Check if the standoffs are in the right spots. took the board out of the case, moved the RAM around using combinations of sticks and slots....... same indications. Bad board? Upvote 0 Downvote
