Im having some major issues with the new system im building. After installing all the components, i booted up the system and it wouldnt post. I went back and removed all the components one by one to see if it would boot up and it still would not. So I came to this forum and found out the problem may be the dfi board. I saw that all 4 LED lights were on. I tried changing the ram locations and all sorts of combinations and nothing happened. I've also tried removing the cpu and still nothing happened, not even a beep. Ive tried reseting the cmos, removing the battery several times and still nothing. All four power connectors are fastened to the motherboard. Finally, ive changed slots for the video card and still nothing. This motherboard was taken right out of the box and was never flashed. Do u think the bios may be corrupted ("4LED's of death)? If not, what else could be the problem and how should I attempt to fix it? Im thinking of rma'ing it anyway to get the dfi ultra version so that I may have sataII , but i would really like to get this thing goin. thanks
