Ok, long story short. I just RMA'd my mobo because my PC wouldn't boot one morning when I woke up. Went through removing everything, tried every possible combination, no POST. I get my new mobo in the mail, plug everything back in, and still no POST. It boots, but only the fans are getting power. Everything is plugged in correctly, tripled checked, tried removing RAM. Any ideas? Parts are listed below.

Ultra Micro Fly mATX case
X-Finity PSU 500w
Foxconn 6150K8MA-8ERKS
Opteron 165
G. Skill 1GB DDR500 RAM
Hitachi Deskstar 250GB HDD
BenQ DW1655
GeForce 7900GT
 
did you test your PSU's voltages? or that the CPU/RAM is indeed working by putting it in a known working computer?

If you have a PC speaker/buzzer can you hear any beeps coming from it?
 
You didn't say that. However, the only suggestion I can think of is to swap parts out with known working parts. PSU / RAM / CPU / Video Card. make sure nothing else is plugged into the system except those things.

OH yeah, check to make sure the reset CMOS jumper is set in the correct position.
 
Removed/replaced everything but the CPU and PSU due to lack of other parts. Still no progress.

Assuming you didn't get another dead motherboard, then it's got to be one of those. Did you try resetting the CMOS?
 
Yeah, I reset the CMOS. Voltages are fine, it's not the PSU, I'm now positive.

Either the CPU or mobo. I'm sending the mobo back in a day or two, praying for a new one that works.
