ASRock X58 Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

[liner121]

I recently started building a computer that used an ASRock X58 Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel motherboard. I installed just the motherboard and a power supply into my case, but when I turned it on, there were no beeps, and the debug LED wasn't lit up. Has anyone else had the same problem or have any solutions?

In the top left corner of the mobo there is an 8 pin socket in which you plug in a 8 pin cable/plug from the psu. This is the source of +12volt power to the cpu. For a long time this has been a common 'omission' by new builders, particularly in 2010 but less so in 2011. Maybe this is the problem.

OK, just a moment. Are you saying you are building a new computer. You installed just the mobo and psu and turned it on without finishing up the full assembly?
