I've RMA'd 2 other motherboards before i bought this one I decided to try a new cpu while I was at it. The past two motherboards were MSI's which I could not get to post either. When I turn the system on, I get no post, and no sound from motherboard speaker which I hooked up. All i get is the red/amber light on the post state led. I feel like I'm going crazy trying to fix this thing. Have been messing around with PC's for a long time and have never had something this vexing!
I have done literally everything other than try a different CPU (which is brand new) and unfortunately the mobo i bought is not compatible (I don't think) with my old i5 6500. I tried switching with a known good power supply, and tried a known good heat sink. I tried bread boarding the system with only 1 stick of ram and the cpu fan as the only things hooked up. I've reseated the CPU a couple of times and checked the socket for bent pins. I've tried every suggestion I could find here and on the forums at Toms Hardware and on the ASUS forums.
I feel like pulling my hair out! Thanks for reading, and for any suggestions you can offer!
