You need a dedicated GPU to use a 8350.

Well if you are using an 8350, there isn't any onboard video so you NEED a gpu.

I understand that but surely the CPU would still not have the Red LED on the mobo unless there was an issue?

The issue is probably that there isn't a gpu. there isn't really a way to diagnose your issue until your gpu arrives.

Make sure the LED lights and the labels are not off centre. On my Crosshair V formula Z they dont match up so you can mistake a CPU light for a RAM light.
