ASRock X79 Extreme 11 - New Build for Work - Shuts Off in BIOS - Please Help!
Hi All,
I'm building this machine at work and just completed the assembly this morning. When I turn it on, it powers on and will POST, albeit slowly. When I enter the BIOS to start making adjustments, things seem very sluggish, lags when making selections, etc....then it will just shut down.
Components are as follows:
X79 Extreme 11
Intel 3930K
GSkill DDR3-2133 (CL 11-11-11-31 1.5v)
XFX Pro 1250W PSU
x8 Vertex 4 128GB SSD
Corsair H100 cooler
Thermaltake Level 10GT case
At first I tried to power it on with all 8 sticks of RAM, then tried 4 in slots A1,B1,C1,D1...then 2 in slots A1,B1...no dice.
Tried using 2 sticks of Corsair XMS 1333 (2x2GB) 9-9-9-24 1.5v...still shuts down.
I've checked all of the power connections, re-seated the RAM (at this point I'm just trying it with one stick in slot A1).
Both 8pin connectors are connected to power as well as the supplemental Molex on the board.
I also can't see anywhere that the board might be making contact with anything other than the standoffs.
I'm not quite a complete nOOb when it comes to building PCs, but this is my first experience with ASRock.
Any ideas what the problem might be? I also posted this at Overclock.net in the hope that someone might be able to help.
I talked management into letting me spend $4200 on this thing and it won't even stay on.
