Hello everyone,

I?�m building my first Windows PC. I wanted an itx mini board and picked this up from Amazon.

I purchased a Seasonic 650w PSU, Crucial Ballistix 3000mhz ram, Intel 7600p M.2 and Intel i5-6800k

When I first put the PC together. The MOBO had three red LEDs pulsing but would not post nor did I get anything from the integrated hdmi port. The system would also shut off after about a minute or so.

I checked the cpu cooler to make sure there was a thin layer of paste, reseated the CPU just in case and then I had two red leds pulsing on the MOBO. Still shutting down after a minute or so.

I?�m stumped and I don?�t know how to get this to post.

I took pictures of the MOBO pins, bottom of the CPU and the thermal paste I used in case that was an issue.

This cpu is compatible with all BIOs versions but I believe my version is 1.50 however I can?�t boot into the bios so I?�m unsure.

Any help would be appreciated.
