Hi, Here's the CPU Spport List http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU
and check if the CPU requires a BIOS update.

I know the cpu is supported for the motherboard. my friend built the same exact computer and his works fine.. and for me to do a bios update i need to have display correct?

 

[alexoiu]

What CPU do you have?
Can you find a sticker on the board/BIOS chip with P1... to check the board's BIOS version?
And no, If the BIOS is older than the required one, the system would not POST.

The CPU i have is AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1Ghz.

The Bios is P1.80 -15A

Then it is supported. If you start the board with only CPU and CPU fan installed, is the CPU fan spinning, and what's the debug code?

The CPU fan still runs
i still get the debug code 00

 

[alexoiu]

I would uninstall the CPU and check the CPU socket for bent pins.

i checked the cpu last night. im just thinking the motherboard itself is defected.

 

[alexoiu]

It might be. I would RMA it.
