ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 won't post

[jrl]

Hello. I have a brand new 970 Extreme3 R2.0 that will not post. I have removed everything except the CPU (AMD FX6300) and still get no beeps. When I do have the VGA adapter (plain ATI Rage), nothing ever happens. It's connected to a 550W PSU. All of the case fans and CPU cooler fan start as expected. Please help!

Memory is 2x 8GB Kingston 1600 HyperX Black. Even when I remove it I also get no errors.

By chance did you neglect to connect the 8pin ATX12V connector from the PSU to the MB?

Thank you so much. I had originally connected the 6-prong power and not the 8. At least now I'm keeping the no-memory beeps. I promise I normally check to make sure "it's plugged in".

I'll let you know how it goes!

Just to follow up, everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks for catching my dumb mistake!

On an unrelated note, I'm sure I'm just not seeing it, but where do you update the date/time in the BIOS? I've gone through every menu in there and can't seem to find a place to update it.

TIA!

On the "Main' page of the BIOS, Date/Time in lower right corner, click on it.
