Asus Z270e motherboard does not post! HELP!

Hdotm9 · Apr 30, 2017

For some reason my motherboard is not posting. No video output, keyboard does not light up using caps lock, no beep sound indicating an issue, dram LED comes on for only a few seconds when I power the PC on then turns off and CPU LED comes on for milliseconds then turns off. Is that normal? I'm assuming it's just going through its checks. I have already changed out the ram for new sticks, reset using cmos jumpers, taken out the graphic card, and only put in 1 stick of ram and nothing works. Motherboard still does not post. HELP!

I am currently building a PC with the following specs:
i7-6700k
Z270e motherboard
16gb ddr4 3000mhz ram
GeForce GTX 1070 Graphics card
Seasonic 860w platinum power supply
Kraken x62 AIO cooler
250gb 960 evo ssd

Go through the list, maybe you missed something

Hdotm9 :

Are you using a tv, or monitor? Is it connected to the graphics card (not motherboard)? What video cable using?

Hdotm9 · Apr 30, 2017

I am using a ku6300 Samsung 40 inch with hdmi connected to the 1070 graphics card But I have also tried with onboard hdmi as well. I don't think hdmi is the issue though since my keyboard led for caps lock is not turning on when I press it.

Have you tested the onboard video with graphics card removed?

Hdotm9 · Apr 30, 2017

Yes I have done that already and still no post

alexoiu · Apr 30, 2017

With graphics card removed, try leaving single RAM module installed. Test each RAM slot. See if still no signal.

Hdotm9 · Apr 30, 2017

I'll give it another shot. I have done that but not with every slot. Do you know if it's ok that the post leds turn on for a second before turning off when I turn on the PC?

alexoiu · Apr 30, 2017

It's ok, yes, it's testing the CPU and memory. If LED turning off, then test passed. Try though testing each RAM slot.

Hdotm9 · Apr 30, 2017

Ok it's still not working.. I can't think of anything else it could be. Maybe faulty motherboard?

alexoiu · Apr 30, 2017

Is the RAM 2x8, or 1x16?

Not sure, then what's wrong.
What's the exact model of RAMs?

Jordan_120 · May 28, 2017

Same problem here, same mobo/cpu/graphics. No idea what is wrong. Thinking of returning it.

Jordan_120 :

Same problem here I think I got a D.O.A. motherboard gonna have to go through the hassle of returning it, bummer I was so exited since this was going to be my first build in nearly 20 years.

What components using?

Moeshahi · Aug 11, 2017

Same problem here, everything assembled correctly, but when I turn it on, the Red LED (CPU) turns on for less than a half second, then the Yellow LED (DRAM) turns on for about 2 seconds and after then no LED lit.
** Also there is no beep at all
when I remove my RAM and then turn it on, DRAM led stays on and beep error play from the speaker.

Did anyone find the problem or solution?

Moeshahi :

That is either problem with RAM sticks (or perhaps you did not push them deep enough - that happens) or with motherboard. If you have more then one stick, start trying with only one of them, or get some other RAM to test.

I tried both of my RAMs in each slot but it has the same issue.

DRagor · Aug 11, 2017

Moeshahi :

So it is unlikely to be a problem with RAM sticks (unless they would be incompatible with motherboard, but pretty much any DDR4 should be).
Have you tried booting with no GPU and no drives?
