I think i have a similar problem to y'all. Here is my config:
Antec P183
Seasonic M12D - 750W
Asus P7P55D
Intel® Core™ i5 750
Arctic Silver Arctic Silver 5
Noctua NH-U12P SE1366
Corsair TWIN3X 2 x 2 Go DDR3 PC12800 CAS 9
Gigabyte GV-N98TSL-1GI
The Cpu fits correctly in the socket, i've contacted Noctua to get a Mounting kit 2 (compatible with socket 1156). Everything's fine, Thermal paste has been spread (i've already mounted and unmounted several times).
I'v read this entire post which i found very useful and rich of various information.
I've commented this in french, but basically all i say is a presentation of the pieces and the problem.
I might add that the problem is the same whitout memory stick at all. So it's more a cpu or a mobo problem.
I don't have a reset button on my motherboard (it ain't a pro/deluxe version) so i'm not sure how to clear the cmos. It has yet to be tried.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
- Edit -
I've found how to clear the cmos (jumper at the bottom), nothing changed.
I've tried my old PSU, which does NOT have the 8 pins 12V plug (top of the motherboard).
The CPU LED doesn't stop and so does the fans, so i guess it's a cpu problem and the new psu just stopped everything to prevent any damage.
What are the steps now ? I've already unmounted the stuff, i couldn't see any damage. I'm not sure what to do. I'll of course try to unmount and mount it again, see if there is anything wrong with the stuff.
Hello!
I'm back, with the solution of my problem. According to the online store where i bought all this stuff, there is an incompatibility between this power supplier and the motherboad.
Seasonic M12D-750 doesn't like Asus P7P55D.
That's a shame because i really wanted this PU. They suggested a Thermaltake Toughpower 850W and i said ok. I'm now waiting for my stuff to come back home.
Mike123456, can you write if it is ok now?
I have exactly the same problem you had. I have a Chieftec APS-500S as a power unit - may it cause the boot up problems?
I've tried starting up with nothing but the CPU on the motherboard and it still won't go.
Sorry to get back at you this late, i've been to the hospital the last couple of weeks (lung stuff, not cancer, don't know the english word for it. Wait, i'm gonna check.... Duh! Same word that in my native language. Well, it was a Pneumothorax.).
I've received the components, mounted them all together, and everything works perfectly fine.
I don't know if your Chieftec APS-500S is responsible for your boot problems, but i can guarantee that the Thermaltake Thoughpower 850W is good to go.
