New build, yet more problems.

Just a thought...
Does the CPU you're using require a more recent version of the BIOS than the motherboard perhaps came with?

I wouldn't think so, the motherboard is newer than the CPU.

Even if it did, I can't get it to come on to do anything about it lol.

I've re-read both threads on the subject.

In terms of the eliminating stages, unless I'm wrong you still have not changed the PSU. Yes I realise you don't have a spare one without stripping your other machine, but it would take 15 minutes to strip it out test in your new MOBO and another 15 minuted to put it back.

.1. 11,520 minutes later you have not invested just 30 minutes to do the validation test, why ?

.2. did you ever get a speaker fitted to the MOBO for diagnostic purposes ?

.2. point me in the direction of the MOBO [ pdf ] book~of~words please.

Are you putting the motherboard on risers?

Not seen you answer this question

THESE are motherboard risers



Can you confim you used a bank of these to offset your motherboard from the case. It should sit a noticable distance away from the bottom/side of your case with ZERO chance of anything being grounded.

If you've not used these and screwed it directly to a sheet of metal shorting everything out that'll be whats fried it.

Sry, need to eliminate the obvious first.....
