July 10, 20241 yr Hey Everyone, Just finished a new build and when I turn on the computer it won't POST or boot to Bios. The CPU light on the motherboard is on and I have run out of ideas... Build as follows: Mobo: GIGABYTE Z790 UD AC CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K Desktop Processor 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 24M Cache, up to 5.1 GHz CPU Air Cooler: Thermaltake Gravity i3 Intel LGA 1700 cocket, 95W CPU Cooler CL-P094-AL09WT-A RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory (4 sticks) PSU: GIGABYTE GP-UD1000GM 1000W 80 Plus Gold Certified Fully Modular Power Supply I have no GPU yet as I was going to run with the IGPU to start. This is for an Unraid build but I have not moved the HDD's or UNRAID boot drive from my other machine yet. But I should be able to POST and see bios w/o this. I have tried to flash update the BIOS and from what I can see it was successful or at least seemed to run the full cycle and power down the power supply. But even after this, I restart and the CPU light is on right away. I have also tried turning it all off and starting with one stick of memory in A1 and again with one stick in A2, no difference... I am at loss. I opened a tech support ticket with Gigabyte but no response yet and from what I can see on various Reddit threads this can take a while. I open to any and all suggestions... this just does not make any sense to me at all.

If the CPU/DRAM/VGA LED is on, that means the corresponding device is not working have you connected the CPU power as well as the ATX?

I did not have the CPU power connected initially, but read this in sub-reddit thread yesterday. I actually thought that would solve the issue, but upon connecting the CPU power there was no change.
July 10, 20241 yr Author I thought so.... 🤔 I will have to double check that when I get home tonight....
