Last night I assembled all of the parts and got various error messages. Ultimately, I get the boot device led error and the same error code on the read out display. It is weird when I turn the system on. It will go through the various tests, get the VGA test and shutdown and reset itself. Then it will go through them all and ends with the boot device problem. Today, I benched the board with only one stick of ram, the stock intel cpu cooler, and one of the XFX video cards. I am not sure what to do at this point. I think I need to RMA the mobo as I don't think it is the CPU or the power supply. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached to links to youtube where I have uploaded the boot processes.
