Yo. All my new stuff came in today. Was pretty pumped. Long story short, Put it all together, go to boot up:
It powers on, HD spins, DVD drive powers up, Fans power up and start spinning, the onboard on/off and reset switches light up, and the the BIOS POST Code/CPU Temperature indicator lights up.
but nothing else happens. It just all stays like that. Keyboard doesn't light up, theres another red led halfway up the board and on the right that's lit. manuel doesn't say what it means.
Also the BIOS Post code indicator just displays FF. Which isn't actually a post code. I have the little mobo speaker plugged in.. but theres no beeps tryin to tell me what's wrong.
I've still got my other pc here. I've tried swapping RAM to RAM I know works. nothin changes. I tried swapping to an empty freshly formatted HD to see if it was just a problem from swapping motherboards and keeping the HD.. Nothing changed. I've also tried the video card in both PCI-E x16 slots. Secured properly and powered with the required 6 and 8 pin PCI-E power connectors.
Both ATX power cords are firmly connected, triple checked. HD and optical sata cables connected firmly. CPU seated properly and firmly with Xig Rifle fit snugly overtop. CPU FAN plugged in and running.
I'm stumped.
Biostar doesn't have toll free tech support either :/ already kindof regretting this mobo. I shoulda checked that out first.
Any Ideas?
