AHHHHH Zenith Extreme and boot problem!

[Bmoney]

Motherboard: Zenith Extreme Gen 1

CPU: 2950x TR

Ram: Nemix 2666 ECC (YES is compatible)

Graphics: 970 ti

PS: Cosair HX1200i

Drive:970 EVO M.2

Building a multi use server. Media, File, Sreaming, etc

I booted it up and loaded an OS last week. I was missing the correct SAS controller for my sas expander. I received it and installed it in my server. Then nothing. 

Things done already:
0) I flash the board already for for the 2nd gen Ryzen series. 
1) Removed all individual components to try and get boot. Didn't work did card by card ram by ram.

2) Re-seated the CPU

3) Unplugged and plugged back in all cables in power supply. 

4) Used multi meter to verify voltage coming from power supply. 

5) Tried to flash the BIOS but the motherboard isn't responding. 

6) When turning on the power supply the RGB lights on the motherboard light up but the onboard power switch, memtest switch and reset switch are all unresponsive. 

 

 

This was active not 4 days ago I had OS installed, services for Plex, Samba shares etc. Now nothing beyond stress with parts these expensive.

Yes it the button flash once then nothing. Then the button stopped responding then I eject the CMOS battery and nothing. 

The computer only lights the RGB. The power button is completely unresponsive. Not even a pulse from the CPU fans or flash on the OLED.

Make sure LN2 and Slow mode are both disabled switches on the board.

 

Did you try the safe boot button?

And what LEDs are on when you try to post? (Not RGB, I mean diagnostic LEDs.)

If you are certain the PSU is good, RMA the motherboard.

Never hurts to try. 

If RMA 2nd hand board, that's a bonus! 

If they don't ask, then don't worry about it.
