I had this same issue and I removed the CMOS battery and power for a couple of minutes and then it worked. I hope it works for you too.

I dont see how the bios is relevant, if it is not posting something is dead. Start with memory, switch slots eventually try stick individually if there is more than one. If u are using a kaveri it should post with no bios update since the chipset is for kaveri, if using richland or trinity also

I had problems with the device also. Trying to do a BIOS upgrade, was not recognized. Found an older one and it worked for me.

If I remeber correctly, it has to do with the BIOs not being up to date. Try updating the BIOs first. Or check to see is the ASUS AI Suite isn

I used this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589 I didn't actually have much luck with this board (I'm assuming that's because it was open box though.) Are you manually clocking or RAM or just using the X.M.P.? My board was fine using the X.M.P. settings.

Check to make sure the board is in a compatible slot, try a different slot and make sure the card is all the way seated in the slot. Did you change anything else? Are you using the same monitor or a new one? Try powering up in safe mode. If none of this works then the card may be bad, try returning it for a replacement. FYI: My card worked right out of the box.

the software included with the motherboard has utility to update your bios by itself, just open it up it will scan to find the bios you need for the newest update.I have the 4790k as well, runs great. what was your issue with the chip if you don't mind me asking?

You need to know what motherboard your using then go to the manufactures Web site look for downloads and drivers then look for bios updates

Possibility, with bios update, however, this motherboard went dead on me after only two days

I seem to have no problem on this same motherboard with the CPU. There is a hot fix out there for it.

Are you sure the mother board is meant for that CPU? Make sure you are using a motherboard that has a LGA 1155 socket. Also if nothing boots up, it could also mean that one of the pins is messed up. Take a magnify glass and look at the pins on the bottom of the CPU. Make sure none are bent or broken. In any case if you know the motherboard supports the LGA 1155 socket and worked before the new CPU, I would ask Amazon for a refund/exchange.

There is not really a whole lot you can do my suggestion would be change the MB,if that is not the case then maybe try considering changing back to the case the MB came out of least it had the proper wiring to connect to the Motherboard for the case,I hope these helped.

Offcourse but you might have to update your motherboards bios. 90% of the time you just plug it in and itll work.

I just finished downloading the latest bios from ASUS Support and after opening the BIOS and renaming it (forgot the name) then I downloaded the BIOS file to a flash drive. Selected the NEW BIOS file and then followed the instructions.

is the psu securely plugged into the mobo? bad psu? make sure a screw didnt lodge under the board or something. does it boot if you manually short the pwr pin outs?

Cycle through the source selections on the monitor. Make sure you're using the top PCI-E slot, the one closet to the CPU. Remove the video card and then put it back in. What code is being displayed in the Debug LED of the motherboard? Try disconnecting the cable then reconnect it. Try a different cable if possible. Please give more information, the more the better. Is this a new build? Was it previously working? There is the possibility of that old PCI-E card just not working in this newer PCI-E 2.0 mobo, even though technically the slot itself is backwards compatible with older cards, you will run into situations where it will not work. Please give as much information as possible though. Also list the system specs including the power supply, CPU, memory, HDD, etc
