Well i created a different thread cuz the problem is slightly different this time...

 

after the last time i got the not booting up problem.. for a few weeks it was completely fine.. and then 2 days back the problem came back... the problem is when i press the power on button nothing happens but all the LEDs in the motherboard were on... and so this problem came back and i eft the system on for a few hours and then it worked again....

 

and yesterday i got the same problem.. so i left it on for sometime and then when i tried to turn it on it restarted a couple of times it didnt even go to bios logo screen but kept restarting and after a few restarts it booted up.. and my date and time settings were wrong.... and everything was fine till yesterday night i turned it off and went to bed.. and today morning when i tired to turn it on the same problem there was no response... so i though since the time change it might be bios problem.... so i removed the cmos battery and inserted it again and then turned it on.. and then the restart loop came again but this time it didnt even boot up at all.. it keeps on restatrting till i turn the power off.  and then i thought maybe the battery was dead so bought a new one and tried to boot with it.. still it kept restarting and then i noticed something on the mother board...

 

one of the q-led was lighting up.. and i checked the manual and its the q-led for the processor... the bottom most one.... it happens like this.. when i press the turn on button it led lights up and then turns off and then restarts then again qled lights up and then turns off... it keeps happeneing even now...

 

so i serached through the internet with the help of a friend... and in one of the forums its written that first i remove both processor and ram sticks and then try booting up.. i tried but there was no response.. like the same problem i had before... and then i inserted just the processor and booted it up the qled lights up and restarts..

 

so wats the problem guys.... im completely confused... dont know what to do....

 

hope u guys can help me....

Thanks... ^_^

I call doa on the mobo but check with ur with the Psu

[Kuzma]

Sounds like a fault mobo, get that thing RMA'd asap.

Before you RMA the board you might want to try and flash the bios using Bios Flashback  Also if it is a older board you should run the bios converter tool from Asus first.

Then it's most likely DoA. RMA it as fast as possible

RMA's are annoying, I had to RMA my MSI Z77 Mpower board a few months ago, because of a faulty PCI lane.

 

As long as you've got something to use in the mean time, then the time'll fly by.

 

 

As a side note, that's a very unbalanced build (Only 4GB RAM, 550TI, yet a 3930K), mind explaining its use to you? If you're going to use it for video editing then you'd need more RAM, and if you're gaming then you'd need a more powerful graphics card AND more RAM.

Well i bought a gskill 8 gb 1600mhz ram... and i sent my board to a service center and got it after 4 weeks.. and its working fine now...

 

i do every stuff.... Gaming, Video Editing, Image Editing, Browsing etc...

 

and ya i know.... but i dont have enough money now cuz i used up all in the processor, cabinet, and motherboard... so it will take for my build to complete...

 

anyway Thanks Everyone..

When I first bought my rampage 4 extreme x79 with i73960x it wouldn't post sometimes and was very touch and go (crashing/hard-locking etc) until I found that an ATX mounting screw  in my corsair 800D was shorting it (bit too hasty in building it haha) ... It does sound like your situation is a faulty board though.
