Hello,
Hardware being used:
ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO Mobo
i7--6700K CPU
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
XFX 850 Watt Black Edition PSU
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Memory Kit Model CMK32GX4M2A2666C16 (2 kits for 64GB total)
New case: Corsair 230T, had the standoffs preinstalled to I left them
I have built many many systems so this isn't my first time. I usually have no problem troubleshooting "no boots" ect. I know the drill and I read the "read this before posting no posting problems" on the forums. I did get some good ideas but most were things I already tried. I'm posting for other ideas but I may end up RMAing the board. Sigh.
My steps:
Long story short, I installed everything as always, and turned on the PC. As we all know, that's the point you hold your breath, hah. So, the PC didn't start. Crap, so that's why I'm here, obviously.
So, I start my troubleshooting and follow all the usual steps (which usually leads me to go "oh crap, I forgot to put in the 4 or 8 pin CPU power, didn't seat the RAM correctly, or the Video card wasn't pressed down.") Nothing. All the "usuals" checked out just fine.
Next, I took out the mobo from the case after unhooking all connections from all drives, ect. I left in the processor and RAM. The only thing "connected" to the mobo is just the 8 pin CPU power and the mobo power. Turned it on w/ the "Start" button, did the same thing. The CPU and PSU fans start for about a millisecond and turn off. The mobo lights are still on. I downloaded the latest BIOS and did the ASUS flashback update to get the mobo to the latest BIOS. The update worked as I got all the 'flashing lights' and the BIOS finished updating. I turned off the power, then powered it back on. Same thing. Nothing. I took out the RAM and tried again, nothing. I took off the CPU fan/heatsync, took out the CPU, made sure it was matching arrows correct, it was fine. I checked all the heatsync anchors to the mobo and all was good. I cleaned off all the paste and put on new paste. Installed the CPU, cleared CMOS. I turned it back on (outside the case again, just the power connected), does the same thing, starts for a millisecond, turns back off. All the mobo lights are still on but nothing is running. Only thing still on the mobo is the CPU and power.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
