How about power connectors not fully plugged in??? a lot of my friends suffer from that due concern excessive force damage motherboard etc, but I find it a lot of times really have to push hard to fully seat in plugs.

I am pretty sure it's plugged in properly as when I first powered on the system, the CPU fan spun and it stayed on from anywhere between 5-10 seconds before the power cut out. It hasn't powered on since that initial try. I've plugged it in multiple times (both 24-pin and 8-pin) since that initial attempt to boot up the system.

Also, if I can get a hold of a different CPU and it still doesn't post, is it then time to RMA the MB? And does anyone know where you RMA in Australia? Is there a service center here, or do I send overseas? This is the first time I've ever had/used/owned an Asrock MB. Hasn't been a good experience so far :(.

No one answered when I asked this before, but can you edit posts here in this forum? I can't seem to find that option?

You will need to open a support ticket with ASRock from the above link. ASRock
tech support actually does check in here fairly often but the odds of them seeing
your post are slim. You will have better luck opening a proper support ticket with
them.

As for the edit function, it is disabled on these forums due to abuse by spammers.
They make seemingly legitimate posts then come back a few hours/days later and edit
their post to insert spam and other malicious links. It made it almost impossible
to find and delete them all.
