I am unbelievably displeased at the moment. Received my brand new ASROCK Fatal1ty killer 990fx motherboard today.
Everything looked great, inspected for any damage, nothing seemed out of place. Very very well packaged.
My process ->
- Socks off, standing on plastic
- take mobo out of the box and bag, and place on top of cardboard box
- remove installed fan mount
- install CPU (arrows matching direction), 100% positive on proper installation
- installed brackets for hyper 212
- installed hyper 212
- installed ram, ensured proper seating
- installed graphics card, ensured proper seating
- placed mother board on test bench (its made of wood with standoffs)
- installed ATX power supply, and 6+2 power supply into the 8 pin slot.
- installed sata drives
- installed power switch, turned on PSU, and nothing. Nothing at all.
Fans dont spin, nothings chirping, nothing is beeping, its literally doing nothing.
So
I removed all RAM, graphics card, and removed power connectors. Then installed 1 slot of ram, triple checked PSU connections to motherboard are proper.
Still nothing. I used 3 ram sticks in all 4 positions, no dice.
I removed everything again, triple checked orientation of everything. Removed and reinstalled CPU
NOTHING.
I tried shorting the switch out, I tried the PSU in another motherboard/cpu, ram is brand new, and worked fine in other computer.
I need a doctor to pronounce time of death before I go pester newegg.
