So went to pcpartfinder website and punched in all specs and apparently all is compatible so I'm even more at wits end now, so looking for new ideas. Full specs as follows ....
MBEVGA 270-SE-W888-KR
CPUFirst go - Intel E5-2687W .... But are Engineering samples(intel Confidential) given to me. Gets to Debug Code 19 and stops with 1 or 2 CPU's installed. Read that BIOS doesn't support ES's so got 2 more cheapies to test.
Second go - Intel E5-2630V2 .... Doesn't get anywhere, stops at Debug FF, once again with 1 or 2 fitted.
What interests me here is that CPU's that shouldn't be supported by the BIOS(according to what I've read, and we all know the internet doesn't lie ...lol) gets further along the booting process than a CPU's that are supported.RAM12 x Kingston Hyper X Fury HX318C10F/8 .... In all testing gone all of them on both CPU's or down to minimum 4 on main CPU. Swapped them all out when down to 4 in case a bad stick or two.
HDDSamsung V-Nand SSD 860 QVO MZ-76Q1T0
Coolers2 x Deepcool DP-MCH4-GMX-RGB-GT .... tried both plugged in of course along with only one
PSUThermaltake Toughpower i Series TPI-1200F2FDP
GPUGigabyte RTX2080 .... Already checked this one with EVGA Tech, and being PCIE3.0 will work fine
And if when we eventually get that far will be installing Windows 10, but can install 7 as backup if we hit any hurdles at this point.
Once again thanks in advance for taking a look and sharing any ideas as to where I've gone wrong.
