Hi, so yesterday I received a motherboard online that I’ve purchased from eBay, it being the P8Z77-V LX. I was very excited to swap everything from my Dell motherboard over to this one to try overclocking for the first time (as I have an i5-2500K), but unfortunately, it did not power on. I’ve tried nearly everything, including; Taking the motherboard out of the case.
Trying a different PSU.
Removing most of the RAM.
Unplugging everything but the 24-pin connector.
Using a different CPU.
Replacing the CMOS battery.
Reconfiguring the CPU plugs, etc.
Even trying to shorten the power switch prongs does absolutely nothing. No fan movement, sound, or any of that. The only thing I notice is the glowing standby power light, so I know that this board is functional to a degree- I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve lost tons of sleep over this, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Note; I’ve also tried hooking it up to a different case, but to no avail. Also, all the lights on the motherboard work. The GPU boost switch lights up perfectly fine if clicked up.
