I checked out the bench test diag guide http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1033078594&postcount=3

I'm using a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 and 2500k

The power supply works TX650 V2 (I tested it w/o mobo via http://www.overclock.net/faqs/96712-how-jump-start-power-supply-psu.html).

I have the mobo speaker pugged into the header but get no beep codes. Once I power on, I get a half second flash of lights and spin of CPU fan, and then everything turns off. I believe this is a short, but since it's my second mobo and via a bench test I don't know what's causing it. Also, neither RAM stick work in any slot and I still get no beeps without any RAM.

Thanks for any help or guidance you can provide.
 
Have you tried a different set of RAM? What about PSU? Reseat the CPU?
 
Check the cmos clear jumper and make sure it is in the right position + try resetting it.

Re-seat the ram

Try with one stick of ram in the first slot

Reseat the PSU

If all that fails,take it out of the case and try running it on a sheet of cartboard.
