I didn't find that sticky, but I did find another website.... and followed these steps
I made sure that everything was cabled correctly, a third time and that there were no errant cables or parts in the system. I disconnected all external devices and all internal devices except for the CPU and HSF.
The relevant parts are a i7 930, ASUS P6X58D, an ultra extreme HSF, a sapphire 5770, seagate drive, and generic CD/DVD.
So as far as I can tell it is either the CPU, PSU, or mobo. However if it were the CPU or MOBO wouldn't the fans come on and the disks spin up along with a non-boot?
Thank you.
The PS was cabled to the mobo, the video card was out and the drives were unpowered and the sata cables were removed. I even tried it with just the cpu w/o HSF.
