Now new parts just don't post. I just get the LED blue light mother boards LED blinks on it. NO Dr. Debug error codes or lights.

I have tried the folling

- Check power connections.

- Check and Re-seat CPU (no bent pins)

- Short power button connections

- Remove M.2

Pretty close to what I'm running.

First, check if all power connectors are seated properly, and you're using the right ones for EPS12V & PCIe. GPU and aux mobo power connectors are often mistaken.

Also, make sure both GPU power cables are plugged. This GPU needs 2 power cables to work properly.

If all of the above fails, take out everything from the mobo. Leave only the power cords plugged. Power on and see if the board will beep or show Dr.Debug codes. If you get no codes whatsoever, most likely your mobo is a dud.

If you know your way around a multimeter you could also probe the PSU as well.
