My new build will not post. The system is power cycling immediately after pressing the power button.
I have the following:
z87 FTW
i7-4790k
GSKILL F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL
OCZ 700W PSU: ocz700MXSP
HD and video cards are all removed.
I have done the following:
1. disconnected everything from the MOBO (all USB, switches, etc...)
2. pulled and reseated ram.
3. Installed only 1 stick ram.
4. swapped ram, etc...
5. Reseated CPU
6. tested PSU -> checked out ok
7. multiple cmos resets
Now, I was able to get to bios 1 time. I was in BIOS 2, and it finally came up. After reading around a bunch, it seemed that the 4790k compatibility was the issue, so I downloaded the latest bios (1.11) to a bootable drive and went ahead and installed it.
Well, I guess that was a bad idea. Now, I am power cycling on both bios 1 and 2 and can't get in.
am I screwed? I can't think of anything else to try. The only thing I haven't swapped out is the PSU, but that seems like a long shot, since the PSU tested shows everything is good...
thanks for any help you can provide!
