Hello! After having 2 DOA motherboards, my Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5 motherboard finally arrived today. I still don't have a CPU, because I sent it to RMA thinking it was the CPU and not the motherboard, so now I have everything but a CPU. After turning on the PSU switch, my motherboard does NOT light up whatsoever, no lights, nothing. Only coil whine on the PSU if I place my ear right on it. If I press the motherboard's or the case's power button, nothing happens. However, if I place a paper clip on specific PSU motherboard 24 pin cable pins behind the connector, the system will start, but only with one or two LEDs lighting up, although my MB has tons of them. I get a CPU error on the troubleshooting leds and LCD screen on the motherboard, but that obviously is because there's no cpu installed.
The problem can ONLU be the motherboard, I have previously replaced every single part to verify this.
Why is this such a weird problem? The PC doesn't start unless the PSU is jump started. Also, the motherboard doesn't light every LED up.
Thanks!
