dead mobo? new build

[Lethal1ty17]

specs are in sig, i tried powering on, lights come on, fans spin up for 2 seconds and then everything shuts down, did the same with and without a cpu in it, mouse and keyboard lights dont light up yet the power led on the mobo says it has good power, switches are correctly in place, tried a bios battery reset and nothing works, is it a bad mobo? i just got it from newegg, i even tried remocing one stick of ram at a time, didnt help at all, any help would be appreciated, thanks

I have had this happen to me when a cable is not seated all the way or one row of pins off... llike USB headers.. PCI or other cards not seated or your grounding out... I would just connect video, 1 stick of memory and the cpu... see if it beeps like it booting. Also make sure the 4/8pin 12v is plugged in... It might not be getting all of its juice.

When you get a new motherboard its probably a good idea to test it first out of the case just sitting on your desk with only a single stick of RAM, CPU and video plugged in(obviously power too)to test and see if it will post properly and allow you into bios setting(probably run memtest for a minute to make sure its ok enough for that too) that way you're sure the components are fine then can put it in the case making sure to secure all connections to the rest of the hardware.
