Look up what that POST code means.

 

Do you have the RAM installed?

I have the ram connected, the MB manual doesn say iDE's meaning but I saw on the forum that it means Possible SATA defective cable.

- Loose CPU_FAN connector.

so... check that

 

replace your SATA cable and switch to a different header

 

take out and put back in your CPU fan connector.

Try booting without anything but nessessary. You don't need HDD or any other SATA device to get into BIOS/UEFI. So just with mobo, CPU, RAM, cooler and PSU.
