Problem with the new rig failing to start.
Check if the RAM is placed in the proper slots and confirm the specifications listed on your motherboard.
The board must include status LEDs to monitor its condition. Verify their operation when the board is active. If it "hangs" on the CPU LED, it indicates a CPU or related issue. A proper response should display an error code or beep along with no RAM detected.
Check if the CPU power connector is securely connected. If the CPU LEDs aren’t lighting up, it’s likely a faulty CPU. Determine whether it’s a new or refurbished unit. Remove the CPU and inspect for bent pins or incorrect orientation before reassembly.
All appears to be working properly. It seems your motherboard might have been delivered damaged.
