Yes you should have breadboarded it. Are you sure you have the power Button connected to proper pins ? At the minimum (if board and cpu are good) then the CPU fan should spin up, does it ?]]> Tue, 21 May 2019 09:39:36 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11502&PID=63137&title=black-screen-boot-order-and-bios#63137 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11502&PID=63129&title=black-screen-boot-order-and-bios#63129 Author: AlphaBovine

Quick follow up - After going over the pins on the MB and the CPU I can't find anything bent or damaged. No ArcticSilver is overflowing , offset mounts are firm and the MB is not touching the casing. I may breadboard it later tonight to see if that changes anything but I don't have my hopes up. ]]> Mon, 20 May 2019 22:37:36 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11502&PID=63129&title=black-screen-boot-order-and-bios#63129 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11502&PID=63128&title=black-screen-boot-order-and-bios#63128 Author: AlphaBovine

Sorry for the delay in response! Adulting is hard with 2 jobs.

So which processor I have,

Core i7-5960X Haswell 8-Core 3.0GHz LGA 2011. I don't honestly know if it is an R2 or not, but I have used it on this same board in a previous tower.

As for the specific board model is the X99 Extreme 4:

Also, since my last post I have tried the following steps:

1. Have a monitor hooked up via HDMI and DVI (not at the same time) but no video signal displayed
2. Tried one stick of RAM (Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz) in each of the 8 slots individually
3. Used my OLD GTX 285 Card in the #1 PCI slot with the same results of no video signal via HDMI/DVI.
4. I dug out my old 4-pin MB speaker and on startup, no beep would emit. I couldn't find a "beep code" manual on the support page or in the manual for the board, but a cursory google search seems to mean it is either bad RAM or bad CPU.

Which one of the "ASRocks Xtreme4" Motherboards?
