Motherboard Troubles.

Hey everyone! I recently just bought a new motherboard to replace my old and broken, AsRock Extreme 4 board. My current build is http://pcpartpicker.com/p/F3Drgs. The second that I moved the parts over to the new motherboard, the system refused to post. I found out that I could clear CMOS and then boot into the bios, but that's not very convenient. Furthurmore, I have to restart the system and clear CMOS if the system falls asleep to get it to wake back up. If anyone could help me figure out what's going on that would be awesome.

I believe that some 970 chipset boards require a bios update to work with some CPU's.

Maybe you haven't configured the bios correctly, that could be a factor too.

Have you tried taking out one set of ram to see if that might be causing the board some issues? you have 2 sets of ram with different speed, and CAS latency ratings.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Yeah. I already tried that.

Did you do a fresh install of windows on your boot drive?
