To add to the continuing saga.....

Put a brand new CPU in......same as before.  Computer turns on, fans turn, some mechanical hard drive activity heard, sounds promising, then nothing.  System just hangs with fans turning and no POST to BIOS.  Monitor doesn't even come out of standby.

Baffled.  I've tried two MB's, two CPUs, two PSUs, two graphics cards.  Unless all 4 sticks of my RAM went bad simultaneously or there is something wrong with my case, I am just utterly befuddled.

I'm heading out of town for a few days again, but when I get back I'm pulling everything out and putting it on cardboard and just getting back to basics.  If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears......

Have a good weekend.  Thanks for the help.


All that is left is the memory, if everything else is new. Assuming you know the video cards and monitor is fine.

The generic Crucial 2133 DDR4 memory that is just the memory circuit board and memory chips will work in your X99 board, I've used them myself in my ASRock X99 board. That will be the cheapest new thing you have bought yet. Even one DIMM will be enough for the board to POST, in the A1 slot.

Yup, the monitor and video card are both definitely good. 

I am going to buy a couple of DDR4 sticks when I get home and try that to cover the remote(?!) possibility that all 4 of my relatively new DDR4 memory sticks failed simultaneously or nearly so.  

I will report back when I get home in a few days.

Thanks
