Please help: My motherboard gets power but no output or POST beep

<< < (4/4)

DonInKansas:
Yeah, it was clear, I was just offering my own experience.  Looks like an RMA. 

clockworkjames:
Indeed it does, The manual said to use a 4pin on the mobo near the cpu but I have been told not using the 8pin when using a quad has fried the mobo from trying to draw too much power from the 4pin. Still not sure if I believe this but all the other components are fine.

RMA methinks.

Thanks guise :/

dennis:
It's quite possible that you dislodged a motherboard component when you were installing the new CPU. See if all your bridge chips are seated properly. If it's not one of those, you might have broken a lead or trace on the board or a component. CPU heatsink clamps can put a lot of pressure on the socket, and also installing or removing them can break off capacitors.

You might also have dropped something conductive into the case while working on the machine and it's shorting something out. Since you'd have to remove it from the case to RMA, give it a good compressed air blast and a visual inspection to see if there's a washer or piece of wire laying across some contacts. Long shot, though.

Board looked fine, smelled okay too but all the capacitors were japanese made so I doubt it was ever going to be the problem. Got an RMA number so just need to send it back, bought a new one anyways because turnaround time would be too much for me to go without a PC, new XFX 750i board atm, is sweet but no new bios on the website yet grrr...
