Ok thats the test i did, No load was required in my case! Now i'm going to hook it all back up and do 1 stick at a time!

[Rooster]

I did the 1 stick at a time but it made no difference, its still no and off on and off!

Ok this is gonna kill ya LOL but I want you to now disconnect your power from the wall and I want you to remove the heatsink fan from your CPU and then remove the CPU (carefully) from the socket and with a strong light and magnifying glass check the socket for bent or misaligned socket pins!

Trouble shooting is always a hoot

YES!  1/2 the socket the pins look like thay are all angled or bent! The other half their strait up!

Look at this link. this is what I mean by bent pins..........Not the way they are layed out.

Thats how they look! Its kinda hard to tell but with a led light and magnifying glass I can see it. The best way to see it is to compare it to the straight side, from different angles!

 I had no problem installing the processer, I did do it on the kitchen table top and then installing in the case. Don't know if I did it , someone else did it, or it came that way! I didn't notice it when I installed it.

Can you take a pic (close up) of your socket and put it up

[Rooster]

here hard to see

[Fatman]

Pretty hard to tell from those pics.............But as far as I could tell looks ok. Did you buy all these parts from a local store? You could have a faulty board, if you bought it locally take it (board) and ask for another. Then try again.
