Hope someone can give me some guidance.
I've put together a new build and it will not POST at all, nor am I getting any info from the de-bug panel. I'm thinking it may be a board  or possibly a CPU issue...

Big Bang X-power
i7-950
MSI N460tx graphics
Xion 800w 800p14N
Kingston DDR3-1600 RAM 6Gb (3 x 2GB)
WD 1TB HDD

Tried with RAM both in and out, CPU power phase lights only 2 are lit, tried using the OC Dashboard controller and it's showing CPU voltage as 0.0, CPU fan (which I can see spinning) at 0 rpms...
Checked CPU voltage with a multimeter at .35v
All power connectors are solidly in the sockets
Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Cleared CMOS per instructions, removed all but a single stick of RAM and tried again. There was no change. No POST nor any display on the de-bug LEDs.

As well as the 24pin JPWR1 connector, did you also connect the 8pin power lead to JPWR2?


Your PSU also looks suspect. Try and see if you can borrow another better one for testing.

Make sure that the single memory module is placed into the first BLACK slot closest to the processor.

In case you haven't done that yet, please test the board outside the case on a non-conductings surface. 

Also, reseat processor and heatsink and check for bent or broken pins while you are at it.

Yes, the cable (cables with this PSU, 2 x 2 +12v) are plugged into JPWR2. As is the 6 pin into JPWR4.

My cheap pass/fail PSU tester shows pass on the 20+4 connector, any other readings I should check with a multimeter?

added:
The single memory module is in the 1st black socket closest to the CPU.
I've checked the CPU for bent/broken pins and didn't see any.
I'll remove the board and check it outside of the case, a Thermaltake A90.

Might try each stick individually in the primary dimm slot. Any chance you have a way to check out the CPU in another board, or a shop that may be able to check it?

Other than the PSU itself, sometimes the PSU's connector cables, the EPS/ATX 8-pin for example, can be faulty.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help. I managed to track down the problem (I caused) with my PSU and everything went smooth after that.
:bonk:

Thanks again,
