Hello,
Just putting together a simple little system with an ASRock H61M-HVS and a Intel I5-3450 and 8GB of Corsair RAM.
Fans power up, but the system won't post. Checking all the usual things like memory and CPU seated right and connectors etc and am not seeing anything.
I did notice looking at the MB specs that this CPU is supported with version 1.9 and newer of the BIOS. I don't know what is on the board now, but is there a chance that if this BIOS is older it isn't digging the CPU? And if so, I don't suppose there is a way to flash the BIOS without dropping a CPU in there that it does like with the current BIOS?
Any other thoughts on things to check for would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I had to drive a long way to get the parts, so I'm not thrilled about having to take anything back.
Thanks for any advice
