Hey guys. I've just installed this board and it didn't fire up. Noticed no power LED - do these boards have them? I tried another PSU, but same result...no perceivable power to the board. So I figured it was a DOA board. With my 1366 socket Gigabyte mobo, when it's turned on, there will be a LED to indicate power. I have an older socket 775 ASUS mobo, which shows their logo lit up when power (main) is connected.
So I ordered another board - same - and placed it on its box before even installing into case, just to see if there's was power going in. I just connected the main from my spare PSU and again, I can see no indicated LED lighting up to show at least that it has power. I have also tried it with the cpu 6 pin connected. At this point with this test, I only have a CPU installed, but even without this, I should at least see a 'live' system?
I find it highly coincidental that 2 brand new boards have this problem. I have an OCZ 850 watt PSU in my case, which was working recently and lights up my ASUS mobo indicating to me that it is working. I have Antec KUHLER H2O 920 CPU Cooler, 16gbs of Corsair Vengence CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B, and an Intel Core i7 2600K. This was going to be my new smaller system, but for the life of me, I've got nada. I've never come across this problem before and it seems weird that both mobo's share this issue.
Am I doing something incorrect? Should power LED's on this model be showing?
Any help greatly appreciated. I have contacted Gig. Tech support, but this might take some time and I'm hoping that this forum will be able to help more quickly.
Thanks
