Re: New Build, No POST Well, connected the power supply from my computer. Fans spin much longer, get a red CPU light, then reboot. I doubt the CPU is bad, more likely the pins on the board. This is not one of Intel's better socket designs. No obvious bent pins, but pin marks missing from some of the CPU pads. I'm sending back the motherboard. Worst case I have to buy another one. Wish New Egg had an advanced RMA set up.
This does bring up another question. Since the board powered up long enough to see the error with a different PSU am I going to have issues with the new PSU? Or, is it smarter and knows there is a problem and cuts power?
In the mean time I installed the new video card in my current machine and will install the SSD tonight with Windows 8.

nightmare | Had the cpu been taken out and put back in when you tried the psu from your other machine? If so it could have been seated a little better allowing the board to at least try to boot. You could always try the new psu on the old computer to test it out. |

kudos:3 | ya go through the process of elimination.
Old PS on new board, New on old.
That bios update method they mentioned. (btw always check for a bios update for new systems, best to update it before its in regular use.) |

May install the new PSU on the new machine this evening.
