Dear All,
I'm an experienced system builder. My first asrock motherboard and it is not going well.
Assistance would be appreciated.
N3700-ITX
Connected just memory and PSU and keyboard/mouse via USB, SSD on Port1 using cable provided in box
Tried 2 PSU have identical results:
(also tried 1 or two memory sticks, and different memory, for since SODIMM inserted into A1 only)
When Power button is applied the system power starts and stops
If there is NO SSD connected then SOMETIMES I can get to the BIOS
Screen connected on HDMI
Not consistent.
However firmware upgrade from installed 1.3 to 1.50 hangs (using USB key with bios code)
What is this PSU fan starting and stopping trying to tell me? Is the motherboard defective?
