Thanks for the tips! I've reached out to both ASRock support as well as the Ebay vendor you mentioned.

Note: I you choose to use BIOS Depot on eBay and don't see your board/BIOS listed send them a message thru eBay and they usually respond within 12hrs, most times way less.

ASRock themselves sell BIOS chips for $15.00USD+shipping, but if you ask politely explaining your situation they've been known to send them for only shipping. Location dependent. http://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=RMA There's BIOS Depot on eBay. Also trustworthy, fast to ship, and reliable. I've used them many times. http://www.ebay.com/sch/biosdepot/m.html?item=381143067366 Leaving the least cost-worthy alternative. Buy a CPU that is supported by your current BIOS, install it, upflash, and then re-install that G4400. Them's all I know of in your predicament. edited: add "explaining your situation" Edited by wardog - 12 Jan 2016 at 7:50am |

Thanks for the quick reply. It turns out I do have v1.10 of the BIOS so my CPU isn't supported. Is there a reasonable way to update the BIOS?
And to your other questions, yes I do have the 4 pin power cable connected and the CMOS pin is in the default position.

What version number is printed on the sticker on your BIOS chip? That board requires BIOS version 1.30 to support the G4400.
Even then I am pretty sure the system should still power on even if it will not post. Is the 4 pin CPU power connector attached to the board? Also check and see if the clear CMOS jumper is set to clear, if it is restore it to it's correct position. Good luck

I should also note that I have already tried swapping out the RAM, so this system is failing to POST with 2 sets of RAM and a known good power supply.

Hello,
I have been banging my head trying to figure this one out. Here is the configuration I am trying to get to work: Motherboard: ASRock HM170M-ITX/ac CPU: Intel Pentium G4400 3.3 GHz (w/ stock Intel CPU cooler) RAM: Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) CT2K4G4DFS8213 PSU: CORSAIR RM Series RM450 450W When I turn the power on, I hear a very faint click from the PSU, and then nothing happens. I tested the PSU separately (the "paperclip" test) and it is working. I have verified the power switch is connected to the correct headers. No other components (hard drives, usb, etc) are connected at this time. Any suggestions? I am at a loss as to what to try next.
