ok so out of the box the board is dong this.
i cant get it to post.
tried substituting cpu's, ram , psu, and gfx. still same result:
the seconds i even plug in the psu the LCD displays "cpu init"#
when i power on all the fans spin up but no beep at all then after 5 seconds it restarts and then stays going longer than the 5 seconds it does at power up.
all the time the lcd displays cpu init, it never changes.
tried the overnight CMOS clear with no luck.

can anyone help?
