I have been attempting to build a new system to no avail. I can't seem to get a Post from the board and I have been trouble shooting for at least twelve hours now. I have given up. The components I want to put together are as follows:
CPU:
1) Intel Core i7-4770K Processor - Quad Core, 8MB L3 Cache, 3.5GHz, 84W, Fan, Unlocked Multiplier, 1250 MHz Graphics Core Speed
Motherboard:
2) Asus Z87-Deluxe Motherboard - ATX, LGA1150, Intel Z87 Express Chipset, 2800 MHz DDR3 (O.C.), SATA III (6Gb/s), 8-CH Audio, Gigabit LAN, Quad-GPU CrossFireX Ready - Z87-DELUXE
Graphics Cards:
3) Two separate XFX FX-787A-CNFC Radeon HD 7870 Core Edition Video Card - 2048MB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0 (x16), 2x DVI, 2x Mini DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, DirectX 11, Dual-Slot, CrossFireX, Eyefinity
Memory (for a total of 32 gigabytes of RAM):
4) Four Patriot Viper Xtreme 8GB Desktop Memory Module - DDR3, 1600MHz, PC3-12800, CL 11, 1.5V - PX38G1600C11
Hard Drive for Data:
5) WD Black 2 TB Desktop Hard Drive, Designed for High-Performance - 3.5" - Sata 6 Gb/s, 7200RPM, 64MB Cache, 5yr Warranty - WD2002FAEX
Solid State Drive for Operating Systems (250 gigabytes):
6) Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE250BW
Power Supply:
7) Corsair RM Series 850 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS Gold-Certified Power Supply - CP-9020056-NA RM850
Cooler for CPU:
8) Corsair Hydro Series CW-9060009-WW H100i Extreme Liquid/Water CPU Cooler - 2 x 120mm Fan, Multi-socket Support, built-in Corsair Link
Case:
9) NZXT Switch 810 System Cabinet
Optical Drive:
10) LG Blue Ray Burner
Operating System:
11) Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit
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.
