I have an Asus P8Z68-v LX motherboard, an Intel i5-2500K CPU, and a Corsair CX600 PSU hooked up for a test boot. However, when I short the 2 power pins on the motherboard, nothing happens. No fans turn on, no beep, nothing. There's a green LED that's lit on the motherboard, though. I know for sure that the PSU isn't the problem because for 1, it's a good brand, and 2, I tried another PSU. I have the 24 pin power connector and the 8 pin connector plugged in to the appropriate spots on the motherboard. I also have the CPU fan plugged in.
So, is it the motherboard that's bad? Do I need to get it exchanged for another one?
It sounds like the motherboard is DOA. – Ramhound – 2012-03-16T18:05:03.637
