Asus Impact Power Cycling

[McFridgeGuy]

Upon completing my build, I attempted the first boot. Did not reach Post. Power cycles on and off.
With power to the Koolance RP1250 unplugged, it reached post. With the pump unplugged from the RP1250, but power to the display power still cycles.

With the cpu 8pin connector unplugged, the pump runs fine. Before doing my first boot, I jumped out the proper pins to run the pump and burp the system.

Downloaded the latest bios from Asus. Now I'm getting Q code 55, memory not installed. Tried swapping the ram in various configurations, no luck. Not having any display, so I can't even go to the bios to check anything. Looks like a power issue, but I just find it hard to believe due to capacity of my psu. I can get components to work, just not all together.


I'm ready to lose my mind and go back to a mac.

Check the CPU socket for any bent pins.
