Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Boosting payments.
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
MMO-Champion
Today while I was testing my new build the computer would not power on at all. There was not post beep, no error codes on the debug screen, and no response from any fans or other parts. I tried just the motherboard with just the psu, cpu, and ram, and i could not get a response even from the psu. I checked all connections and cleared the cmos, but still no luck. The cpu does not show any sign of damage and all parts are brand new. I am beginning to think that I have a doa board. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to what could be the problem?
Specs are:
Asrock z77 extreme 4 mobo
Intel i5 3570k
Msi 660 ti power edition
Corsair vengeance 8gb 1600mhz ram
corsair tx v2 650w
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It could possibly be a doa board but also just make sure all the connecters are where they should be and also maybe something happened during the assembly , did you make sure to ground yourself ? and not build near a conductive surface ?

I was grounded and tested the board right on its box on a wooden table. The 24 pin connector and cpu connector were both in all the way.

Do a paperclip test with the PSU after unplugging it from everything, make sure it runs. Try another PSU if you can.

A common mistake is leaving out the P4 connector. Make sure everything that should be plugged in, is plugged in.
If you've plugged everything in, there are two possibilities:
DOA Mobo
Bad PSU
90% of all issues arise from bad power. Chances are very good that that it's the Power Supply. These days, it's actually the more expensive of the two to fix, depending on what you bought. I'd start there, however.

Make sure that the memory is fully seated. Last build I put together the memory slots were particular resistant and the sticks weren't in all the way even when I thought they were. Probably not your problem, but it's possible

I tried the paper-clip test and nothing happened except for the psu making a very faint crackling noise. Is it safe to assume that the psu is the one that needs RMA'ing and not the motherboard?

Provided you put the paperclip in the correct holes and it isn't one of the rare ones that doesn't like to turn on with no load, yes.
