Recently got the Z170 OC fomula MB. Set it all up and I keep getting an error code. I originally thought it was a 00 error code, which states that you should check that the CPU is installed properly and reset the BIOs. Did that, with no luck. Ordered another motherboard, and I'm getting the same thing. I said earilier that I "thought" the error code was 00, but after installing the new MB, I kept off the video cards, and now I can see that there is no bottom line on the two zeros (so they more look like a tall n. Anybody have any idea what might be going on before I order a new CPU?

Here's a picture - It's hard to see with the glare, but you should be able to see that the bottom two bars are not lit. |

So I've tried two motherboards (same model) and two different CPUs. Same error code - that nn code that I can't find anything on. What else could be causing this?

2 boards and 2 CPUs with the same error would indicate the problem lies in a component common to both test setups. I would try another PSU first then eliminate other components if that fails. -------------

| Figured it out. Had the wrong power supply - didn't have an 8 pin 12V ATX connector. |

I thought power was the likely culprit. I hope all is up and running as it should be now  -------------
