When i opened the package, the processor cover (the one that comes with all new motherboards) wasn't seated but floating around the inside of the sealed package. But I thought I'd give it a try anyway and plugged in the ram, the processor, and the psu. And? Nothing happened except for a little flash around the area of the ethernet chord plug. This flash happens as soon as I plug in the power every time, but nothing else does. My psu is the one in my sig and it works just fine with my old motherboard.

I'm thinking RMA but can I get your thoughts as well? I'm going to call asrock (its a z87 extreme 6) after I get home from work later but I'm pretty sure it won't help.
