So I tried upgrading my old evga x58 with a Xeon X5675 processor and a Samsung 950 Pro with the adapter. First try gave the "FF" post code with no post. I reset the CMOS and reseated everything- the same- so I replaced the CPU with the old Intel and the old SSD- but still the same "FF". I've been using this mobo fine for 7 years.
I think the new processor is the culprit and it might have shorted something. But the fans and PSU power up fine. Any ideas on what I can try next or will I need a new mobo?
