I installed an ASUS H81M-K mobo and an Intel Core i5-4460 CPU reusing the HyperX Blu 8GB of RAM from the old mobo and the EVGA SuperNOVA 550 GS Power Supply from the old rig. I chose this older technology because for my purposes there was no need to go state of the art.
After making all connections I powered up to verify. The case and CPU fans spun up for about 1 second and the DVD drive light blinked once and then power dropped. I double checked all the connections backing them off and reseating them to no avail. Since the upgrade was for my main desktop system I had to remove everything and reinstall the old mobo and CPU. System runs fine now.
I sent email to the mobo seller in China asking them for input but I'm not holding my breath.
Anyone have ideas for what I might check?
Thanks,
Terry
