Thanks for all the suggestions. I have tried swapping another different CPU into this mobo and the same thing happens. Also tested my new 3570k on another existing motherboard and it booted up and detected it fine. So now I am certain it's a defective mobo I have. I have RMA it already.

I just recently brought a i5 3570k and a Asrock z77 OC board to upgrade my previous sytem. But the first time inbooted it up, it wont even go into bios or post. The light for the cpu is red on the motherboard which it probaly means the cpu is defective but could it be the mobo instead? If so...
