Follow up on previous threads about motherboard/RAM issues on new build:
After testing out the PSU with multimeter I have ruled out that the Power Supply is the problem. Tonight I picked up a Gig of Crucial DDR3 set at 1333 with a CL of 9. Tested stick out on all four DIMM slots and no luck. So the RAM is not causing the problem. The HDD is functioning fine (LED indicator) and I highly doubt the CPU is the problem. Now the only part left appears to be the motherboard-the DIMM slots appear to be bad.
Before I turn in the motherboard for a new one, is there any possiblity that the processor is at fault? (this sounds like a dumb question but i just want to check)
Note: No onboard speaker so no BIOS beeps*
