Glad you got it working, but I'm experiencing a very similar issue and I was wondering if you could clarify what you meant when you said:

I took it out of the case to try and isolate a potential grounding issue. I tried it before reseating the cpu again and it didn't work

Thanks!

A grounding issue can occur if you haven't used enough motherboard stand-offs as well as other things. So the system can short if some part of the computer (motherboard for instance) makes contact with a metal or conductive part of the case. It can sometimes be hard to diagnose.

 

Hopefully this is helpful, you might find more support if you start your own thread.
