So I got all the stuff for my new rig yesterday, happily put it all together, crossed my fingers and powered it on... no post. After an evening of troubleshooting, much colorful language and sore fingers, it still wouldn't frikin post.
Specs:
i5 2500k cpu
Asus Radeon HD 6870 vid card
Corsair 600T case
Asus p8p67 LE mobo
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 ram
Antec BP550 Plus PSU
Here's what I've done so far:
-cleared CMOS - no dice
-tested both ram sticks in memtest. Both show no errors. Tried em one at a time in every slot. No dice.
-swapped out PSU with the one from my old rig, no dice. The new one works fine in my old rig though.
-swapped out vid card from my old rig. (asus radeon 5450) - no dice
-reseated the cpu three times, twice with my aftermarket cooler, once with the stock cooler. no dice.
-I should add that the system turns on for about 2-3 seconds then shuts itself off.
I'm thinking my mobo's a dud. I just wanted to check with the folk from this lovely forum in case I'm being an idiot and overlooking something simple before I RMA the board.
