Hello Everybody,
I have been assembling a new rig. I am using a Z68MA-D2H-B3 with a Core i5 3750k along with 16gb of Cosair Vengeance memory and a Western Digital Caviar black. I am pretty sure that I have assembled everything properly. The confusing part is when I power the system on. The CPU fan spins up and then stops. Nothing will show on my monitor and no POST error beep codes either. The system then reboots again. This process may happen 3-4 times before the system may boot. If the system boots, I will get the successful POST beep code. Then I will get a gigabyte Splash screen. However this fails to give me any relevant information as to my BIOS version. If I try to access the BIOS settings or any of the options to access the motherboard features (Boot menu, Q Flash, ect.) I am unsuccessful. If seems almost as if the keyboard isn't working.
I have tried using a single stick of ram (4gb) instead of the entire kit (16gb), Swapping out the USB keyboard for a PS2 one, Resetting the bios using the clear CMOS jumper, replacing the Bios battery, and trying to use the dual BIOS with the power button and the PSU switch method.
I really do hope it is something I am doing wrong. I really don't have the option to RMA this board because of where I live. If anybody could shed some light, that would be very helpful.
