I build my computer about a month ago & when i first turned it on the bios would not pop up. So i sent back the motherboard and got a replacement and I'm still having the same issue. I took out the battery and tried the bios reset but it still won't pop up, any ideas ? Or should i buy a whole new motherboard?

how do you mean?, do you mean it doesnt POST at all or you cant get into the bios?, 

does it turn on at all? or turn on and you get nothing on screen? 

something could be shorting out the board, rouge stand off or something

is your cpu seated correctly? 

could be a faulty PSU / Memory, have you tried with 1 stick in different slots ?

 

post your specs of the whole system might be easier for people to troubleshoot =)

Try with just 1 stick of memory installed, and circulate the stick you use and the slot its in.

Try moving the GPU to the lower PCIe x16 slot.

Reseat your CPU. I had this problem with an AMD build once, that seemed to help.

Does anything come up on the screen at all?
