To wrap this up…

I got a cheap i3 CPU off Ebay and put it in the used ASUS board. The computer started with no error beeps from the speaker (I tested the speaker with no RAM to make sure it works). This leads me to believe my CPU was the issue.

However, I get no video out with either HDMI or VGA. There was black crud on the IO board when I got it. Who knows? Bottom line is I'm sending the ASUS back. If it had worked I would have just re-sold it.

I tested my Gigabyte board and it wouldn't start. If it wasn't dead before I probably killed it trying to get it to boot with the bad CPU.

If I didn't mention it before I got a new power supply and that didn't help. That's already been returned to Micro Center.

I'm typing this on my new Mac Studio M1 Max so it's probably adios to hackintoshing for me. It was fun while it lasted!

Nice work. Thanks for the follow up post. So it looks like both the CPU and the board had problems that are not fixable. Buying used PC hardware is always a gamble. Hope you like the new M1 Max, should give you many years of service without headaches like this.
