Hello! The past few weeks have been a train of troubleshooting a motherboard I was gifted, I have yet to get it to post, to be clear this is the board I have:
https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20Extreme4/
Its symptoms are a stuck on post led above Bios 1, no post beep codes, you can hear it only clicks somewhat when powered up with ram inserted in any slot, however, does beep 3 long with no ram at all. I thought the CPU was good based upon that, a 5820k.
When I got the board I was given a some adata chips that aren't quite on the QVL and thought those must be the problem since it beeps without ram installed, but I went and picked up some Corsair RGB vengeance ram today to the same symptom of stuck post led and no beeps, as I had gotten with the previous chips it came with in the first place.
I realize I likely have no serviceability through ASRock to repair it but wanted to know if there was anyone that could think of something I haven't yet.
I've triple checked the CPUs laid in socket well, cooler installed properly (Mugen scythe rev b for clearance of the ram sockets) and tried either new and old single dimm boot in every slot, getting me nowhere different each time.
PSU is a corsair rm1000i
Again, any help is appreciated, will give more info on my build if asked.
