I'm down to booting this board with nothing but the PSU and VGA connected. It is sitting on my workbench outside of the case to eliminate possible short issues.
I've tried two different PDUs, one of which is brand new and 80+ Gold Certified. Neither PSU shows different results. The board turns on, two LEDs light up (and one starts blinking slowly after about 30 seconds) but will not initialize the display. When I've tried hooking up the IPMI, I can login to it via the browser without any problem; everything (including the remote console) functions... but the remote console doesn't show anything but a black screen, indicating that the machine is in sleep mode. When I power cycle it through IPMI and watch the remote console, nothing happens.
I've tried 3 different DDR3 ECC sticks in DDR3-A1, and also with no RAM at all just to see if it will post (it should), but it doesn't. I've tried the monitor on known working machines and it works fine. I've also tried it in all configurations with and without a USB keyboard attached.
When I had it installed and attached to case fans, they all spun up. When the monitor is connected to the VGA port, it exits its own test mode and goes straight to sleep, as monitors do when they're connected to ports that are on but out-of-mode. There is nothing in the system logs in IPMI to indicate what might be going wrong.
Thoughts?
