ASUS P8Z77-V PRO Boot Errors?

Last response: in Motherboards

My first post on this site, community's never let me down before so I'm hoping you can help me.

I recently purchased an ASUS P8Z77-V Pro motherboard for my first ever gaming build.

I installed everything correctly. I went to boot for the first time; no luck. The LEDs on my mobo told me there was no VGA cable (which there was), then told me there was no boot device (which there also was). I checked all of my connections but still got nothing to work.

After searching through some internet forums, including this site, I found that other people had similar problems, and had resolved them by removing the graphics card and one stick of RAM, so I tried that and it booted. Fiddled around with the BIOS to see if there were any settings I could change and I even ended updated it in the end. Still nothing if I install 2 RAM sticks and a graphics card. It's now stuck in a boot loop but I'm pretty sure this is my fault to some extent.

I suggest taking the board outside the case and test again on a cardboard or similar non conducting surface. Make sure that the graphis card is proerly inserted in the PCIe slot. Test also, if possible, the graphics card in a different PC just to make sure it works.

I tried that and it still didn't work. I tested the other graphics card in another PC and it works fine.

Then it might be a CPU socket bent pins issue. You can uninstall the CPU and check the socket with a magnifying glass. When reinstalling, clean the old thermal paste and reapply a new one.
