So here is the build.
Fractal Design Define XL R2
Corsair X850 PSU
Asus Sabertooth X79
Intel i7-4820 LGA2011
Corsair Vengeance LP 16gb
Sapphire HD7970 3gb
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Samsung SSD
WD Black 1TB
My problem is no post no video and red cpu light stays on. When I boot, I get power on for 5 seconds, then a shutdown and reboot, comes back up red CPU light stays on. Everything seems to running fine. All fans are running, including video card. No post beeps at all.
What I have done:
unplugged/replugged everything, board power, drives, video cards, and everything else.
Reseated the CPU, checked for bent/broken pins, etc. Found nothing.
Reseated RAM, used different power cables for video card just for the hell of it.
I tried to use the boards bios flashback feature with a USB stick and BIOS loaded on it. Not sure if it worked with no video.
Flashed/reset CMOS with the jumper.
This is my first build ever. Bad CPU? Bad Mobo?
When I loaded the parts into PCPartPicker, I get this message about possible incompatibility, "Some Intel X79 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Ivy Bridge-E CPUs."
Could that cause the problem I am having and if so, how can I update the bios with no video? The mobo does not have onboard video. Thanks one and all!!
