I just put together a brand new build, and after having some trouble getting the GPU to work, I was finally on my way to installing Windows 7. However, I couldn't get my HDD or DVD drive to be recognized in the BIOS of the motherboard. I powered down the computer and made sure that the power to the SATAs was secure. Then, I turned the computer on again, and I get the code "00" with NOTHING else showing. The computer won't post, display an image on the monitor, anything. Just fans and lights. Also, the backlight on the power button and reset button on the motherboard are no longer there.
I took everything out, breadboarded it, and still "00." I swapped the ram, took out the battery, unplugged the PSU, tapped the power buttons to release static, reseated the CPU and heatsink, unplugged/replugged the 24-pin and 8-pin to the motherboard, and even took out the GPU. Still "00".
Suspecting it's the motherboard, I sent for overnight shipping on the same model with the inention of RMA'ing for a refund on the current one. But, before ripping open another box, I want to be sure that I have covered all bases. Any suggestions?
Build:
Asrock p67 Extreme 4
Core i5 2500k (stock HSF, for now)
eVga GTX 580
500GB WD SATA
Rosewill 1000w PSU (for sli, eventually)
2x Ripjaw 4.0gb
