Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z
2500k
2 x 4GB RAM G.SKILL ECO 8GB (2 x 4GB) Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBECO (low profile, low voltage)
Corsair H60 water
HIS Radeon HD 6670 (does not need power cable from power supply)
Silverstone 500w PS
not installed in a case
Problem:
When I power on, system seems to start (fans spin) for 1 second, then system powers down.
- no beeps
- no error code on motherboard LCD
"Known Good - components that worked in another system
Power supply
Video Card
Steps taken
Clear CMOS
Remove components
disconnect all cables to drives, keyboard, mouse, NIC
checked that both power supply cables inserted fully
tried with no memory installed
tried with videocard removed
made sure Corsair H60 3-pin cables connected to motherboard headers
Am I missing something stupid? (wouldn't be the first time)
I don't have another board to test the CPU or memory on.
I don't have another CPU that will fit, or another set of DDR3 memory.
I am somewhat mystified at the lack of beeps or error code - shouldn't I get something with memory and videocard not installed?
Any thought/suggestions gratefully accepted.
