Hi All
Have completed my build - the desk looks good and the rig fitted nicely inside (will post about it when all is okay).
However, upon initial power on there is a small 'click' like a relay and the CPU fan spins for a second then stops. Then it is silent, no action although the mobo lights stay. I can't try to switch on again until I've switched off the power and allowed the board to dissipate any charge so the lights go out.
So, I'm thinking either CPU (i7 4790K) or board (Z97 Asus Maximus VII Ranger). I have in stages disconnected everything, removed the PCI-E boards, the SATA connections, the RAM etc, but still the same problem at each try. I've also removed the CPU twice to check its seating and it visually looks fine.
So, by process of elimination I think either the CPU is dead or the board is. I don't know for certain, though, and so would appreciate some guidance from more experienced heads.
Thanks
RR
