Yep tried most of that.....
Nothing connected to Mobo except power and water pump and fan....
I have to have the vid card in as no onboard.......
CMOS has been cleared several times.....
BIOS flashed and updated to latest.....
Everything re-seated at least twice.....
Even CPU cooler loosened right up as this apparently can cause problems if too much pressure on CPU......

Just figured I'd re-cover the basics, in case you missed one. Sorry to hear about your build.

A little bit, put a sheet of tin foil under where the MoBo goes and fit it, take it out and see if it's left any marks in the foil

Some are very tall - much taller than our quality manual allows.
But there are no visible pennants or shorts, so long as they aren't
shorting to the case it probably doesn't matter either way.
It's time to give this another go.

I did look at the case because right around the PCIE is a raised bit.....I could see no marks though.....

Unlike the sheet of plastic that was underneath it in the box.....That had holes everywhere.....

Yep, that's the classic test. Of course, plugging in all the power outside of the case also works.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.
