Asus p8z68-lx

hi guys I have put this rig together and i am having trouble to make it boot.

here is a video of what is happening:

 

So far I tried this with no luck:

I tried a different PSU, differenr RAM, CPU, and GPU, so i'm guessing the mobo is somehow dodgy. it was working fine when i first got it. looking for help.

thank you

Your RAM is in the wrong slots in that video, use the same colour slots. iirc the manual said to use the blue ones.

Doesn't matter on this platform, and if it were a memory issue, it would stay on with no POST.

When did it happen? Have any of the motherboard socket pins gotten bent?

I mean, it could be. We don't know for certain. Another guess is a bad heatsink installation. If it isn't touching the CPU, then it will overheat. The telltale of this, is that it lasts longer from cold, and subsequent powerups get much shorter.

It shouldn't matter but since it's a first boot in a new build it would be better to have the ram in the correct channels.

Ok I will try that in a minute, any way of resetting the bios to factory settings? besides the jumper& battery way? cuz all the other items works absolutely fine

[Daniel_R]

[Daniel_R]
