Board: Gigabyte GA H170N-WIFI
Processor: Intel i3-6300
Memory: Crucial Ballistix DDR4-2400
Power Supply: SilverStone PS-ST55F-PT 550W 80+ Platinum
The problem:
When I hook everything up and trip the power switch pins, the CPU fan starts spinning for about 2 seconds, and then stops. The board does not POST, and there is no sound from the small case speaker I attached for this process. My first thought was that this was a motherboard problem, so I exchanged it for another, but encountered the same problem. I have tried this with the memory in all different kinds of configurations, including no RAM installed at all, the results are the same either way.
Where to next?
I think I have eliminated the memory as a possible problem. Do you think that I should look at the power supply or the processor for the next attempt to solve this issue? I do not currently have another PSU or 1151 CPU just laying around, so I would like some opinions before I move to the next step.
