Hello friends.

Having trouble with getting a first boot out of new parts. The post status checker lights have the CPU and DRAM both remaining on after the BOOT and VGA turn off. Then nothing. Does anyone have some steps I could take further before I start trying to figure out what gets returned for something new?

So far I've tried:

• Flashing latest BIOS (successfully, I believe). No change.

• Removing the CMOS overnight and then popping it back in before testing further. No change

• trying a single stick of the new RAM in each of the accessible slots. Only A1 is blocked by the tubing of the CPU cooler due to the sticks being a little thick. No change

• removing all ram and powering up. No change.

How did you flash the BIOS?

Which slots are the rams populating on the motherboard?

Manual recommends slotting into A2 and B2. Ihave, however, tried them there, and tried both sticks in all slots except A1 because of size issues. I have also tried with no plugged in RAM

Update for those to come after me: ASRock told me if I have updated the bios and still cannot boot to just send the mobo back for replacement
