I just built a new computer for the first time in about 12 years, and the board is apparently not detecting the CPU. I get no display, everything lights up, fans start, but there's a CPU Fail LED light on the board that just keeps going off. I've tried removing everything but a RAM stick and the CPU, and still no joy. Starting to worry the new CPU is DOA.
Anyone got a clue as to what could be going on? No bent pins or anything, I've removed the CPU twice now to check, it's getting worrying. The only error code I get is 0d which apparently means "we've reserved this one for future use". It's been a long time since I last built a computer, so I'm allowing for I've just forgotten something important, but as far as I can tell, all the connectors and everything are in place, PSU is working fine... I'm at my wits end.
Update:
I've now tried taking it out of the case to see if it was the standoffs- put it on a static bag on a cardboard box and started it up. Nada. Still CPU FAIL LED going. Frustrating!
