Hey all, thanks for helping me out.
I'm probably going to try taking everything out and breadboarding just the CPU/HSF after I post this, as that's all theres really left to do from what I've read on other posts. Anyways here's my problem:
After installing all my parts and getting it into the case, The first turn on yielded no POST or beeps of any kind. Checking the LED's on my mobo, the CPU LED is lit (seems to be the only one that is lit) which, according to the manual, indicates a problem with the CPU. After seeing this, I removed the H70 Cooling system I had installed, and instead installed the stock HSF to see if that might possibly remedy the problem. It didn't.
When I start up, there are no beeps at all. I'll list everything that's in the computer:
ASUS Maximus IV Mobo
Intel i7 2600k CPU
4x4GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
WAS using H70 Corsair cooling system, now using stock HSF that came with the i7
Corsair AX1200 PSU
MSI GTX580 Lightning edition video card
WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD
Intel 510 series 120GB SSD
LG Blu-Ray R/W optical drive
Case is a HAF X
I really hope someone can give me some advice to do some final checking before I RMA the CPU. Thanks.
