No major issues during the process:
-I seated the CPU with care onto the pins on the board
-I was grounded well.
-I made sure no screws or standoffs were either overtightened or too loose.
-All power/data connections were triple checked.
The first time I powered on the system. I hear all the fans (cpu, gpu, and case fans) but nothing shows on monitor.
No BIOS, nothing, just black. When I open up the case. I can see the CPU_LED on my board solid red.
I did some research along with basic troubleshooting and went to sleep.
So today I open case again to make sure cooler wasn't too tight on cpu, even reseated GPU, RAM, etc...
The stuff I researched from last night....
When I powered again I got the same result. All fans and lights are on, but nothing to monitor just black and CPU_LED light is still solid red.
I'm thinking about RMA'ing the CPU.
Any troubleshooting left to do?
Will local shops test another CPU for FREE?
Help me out. If you need more info/details let me know.
Thanks.
