Completed build & tried to turn the system on... power LED flickered, nothing else happened. Any ideas on what's wrong? Motherboard shorting? Thanks!

Maybe. Check your stand-offs to be sure it's not shorting to the case via one of those. The case itself is good, unless you got a lemon. I've never heard of that problem specifically with this case.

is the psu securely plugged into the mobo? bad psu? make sure a screw didnt lodge under the board or something. does it boot if you manually short the pwr pin outs?

Check PS. New does not mean good, Check memory chips by inserting only one at a time (I have had bad memory out of the box cause the same issue). Remove MOBO and fire it on table top with minimum items connected.I built two computers with these cases.. no issues.

There are so many things that can cause this.. but 99% chance its not the case. Could be many of the things listed by others, could also be loose or improperly seated CPU, bad RAM, dirty ram slot, missing connectors, miswired FP lines etc.

You need to take it to next level and complain to their supervisor or above since this is an expensive motherboard. Why are they sending you refurbish boards? It's no wonder why they all DOA

Assuming you have power to the power supply, the power supply most likely needs to be replaced. I would check for a loose connection before I ordered a replacement. Turn off the power before you go poking around with a screw dirver :)

The case is a pretty generic when it comes to the buttons and stuff. If you plugged them in right, they should work. Try connecting the power button from your old case to the mobo (in place) and see if it works that way. The only thing I can possibly see wrong in this scenario is a bad button, unless you've plugged something in wrong...?

DavidLJ48- do you have the 780i motherboard also? If you do then you shouldn't have any problems running the cpu. Have You tried upgrading your bios before you upgrade the cpu?

This motherboard requires an external video source. It has no video output at all.

Please check all the connections and replace with a new power supply. If the problem remains please send it back.Thanks!

the post analyzer will show problem .check for overheating of cpu also ram & rom mem make sure they are the right ones for motherboard.

Cycle through the source selections on the monitor. Make sure you're using the top PCI-E slot, the one closet to the CPU. Remove the video card and then put it back in. What code is being displayed in the Debug LED of the motherboard? Try disconnecting the cable then reconnect it. Try a different cable if possible. Please give more information, the more the better. Is this a new build? Was it previously working? There is the possibility of that old PCI-E card just not working in this newer PCI-E 2.0 mobo, even though technically the slot itself is backwards compatible with older cards, you will run into situations where it will not work. Please give as much information as possible though. Also list the system specs including the power supply, CPU, memory, HDD, etc

Are the fans spinning when its powered up? Make sure the video card is hooked up correctly and it has power. It may be dead on arrival

You need to remove one of those cover brackets in the back of your case, yeah those where the video card comes out from and then, plug a 4 pin molex to the device's board, then place the LED lights wherever you see fit and connect the one end of the LED cable to the device's board. I'll see if i can post some pictures of my build.

I had the same issue with my Asrock H77 M-ITX board. I had to purchase extra wires and connectors from www.frozencpu.com.

Here is exactly what I suggest.Call Corsair yourself and talk with Tech Support.That is what I did when mine arrived.They are pretty nice and I would think they will know what you can and cannot do in regards to hooking it up.If I knew I would tell you but I do-not want to guess.If you go back to my lengthy Post on reviews you will see that I had the Geek Squad come and hook mine up.It had no sound and we could not figure out why.The Geek Squad guy did finally figure it out.Terry

Thanks for the thread. Just set ours up and was having the same problem. Glad to know I didn't mess something up on installation.

1) did you make sure the heat sink was applied properly? what kind of temps are you getting @ bios when you reboot.2) power supply: how old? what kind of wattage?3) Have you tried doing any other intensive tasks like gaming or running a test app like SuperPi? Does it shut down then?

It should work according to the specs of this motherboard. I have this and no problems. When do you get the beeps? Before or after post? At the point of turning on the computer? Is this a new motherboard? Try removing everything but ram, cpu and video card. Go from there. If it beeps again check to make sure the ram is seated correctly. Is the cpu seated correctly? Any bent pins? Installed correctly?

Hmmm... I had the opposite problem when I put mine together. I found the data port (located in front left quadrant of mb), but discovered I needed to buy a molex to sata power conversion cable. to get power.
