I have a problem with my Maximus IV mobo. I've done and tried all the basics, even tried updating both BIOS chips (inc emergency method).
Problem is this.
1. Press power button, and fans spin briefly then shut off, and carrys on doing this itself (no POST LED light up).
2. Press CMOS for 2 seconds, then press Power button, it boots up just fine and I can do whatever I like.
3. As soon as board is powered down, I have to repeat Step 2 again.
I've tried different PSU + RAM + CPU but no luck.
I've even looked for leaking caps, but all "looks" good.
I've even reballed both chipsets + reflowed the iROG Chips.
I hope Im not the only one, and surely there must be a solution to this. It has to be something small because otherwise once the mobo is on it works fine.
Thanks.
