Did you clear the CMOS?
I do not know what that is.
I'm sorry but without any beeps you aren't even posting past the CPU and I really trust that it's not a PSU issue or connections with all the checking you've done. I would reach out to ASUS, buy chance did you get these parts from a local vendor/shop? if so then you could also drop it all off and see if they have an idea.
90% of the time it boils down to something simple or over looked. But as the CPU fan isn't even spinning or you get any beeps????? Don't lose heart it's just a momentary set back and all part of the fun !!!
Got it at newegg.com
I will see what I can do as far as calling Asus.
If you have any other suggestions, let me know
I'll keep thinking about anything missed, lets hope another comes along with a fresh idea....stay the course it will likely be something stupidly simple ! I ran into this same problem with my new i7 build but my new/old stock mobo turned out wasn't in the proper bios update and it had to be flashed to see the i7...but that's my solution.
It is the coin sized battery on your motherboard also they have a clear cmos button on your board as well instead of taking out the battery
I am assuming this because most of the new MB has that feature mine has it
But if you take the batery out and place it back in that is what you call clearing Cmos
It wouldn't be a bad idea to open up the armor where this battery resides just so you know where it is and how much effort it could take to swap the battery as they will go bad but normally it takes a couple years.
It did t come with a second battery, and i dont have another.
