Hey!
So I have just been working on my new pc build, the first board I got had bent pins, and the seller wouldnt RMA it, said it was my fault so I bought the same board again. However what I have found, and it may be expected behaviour, is that if I try to power the PC without a CPU literally nothing happens. The RGB bit on the board lights up, but nothing else will happen. I am waiting delivery of a new CPU as I suspected the last was DOA because the system would power on for a split second and then die straight away.
However I was thinking that if I connected everything up RAM, GPU, PSU, Cooler then I would at least get post beeps when pressing the power button? Will the board simply do nothing without a CPU on it??
My other suspicion is a dodgy PSU perhaps so I am going to try get my hands on another to see. I tried breadboarding but it didnt make a difference. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on? I've never had such problems with a new build
