Solved! My LEDS are turning on but it isn't booting

[MilesOlson]

Hello, I replaced my motherboard with a new one. When I tried to run my computer, the LEDs on the motherboard, ram, and computer case all turn on and the fans are operating. It looks all perfect but it does not boot. I have tried replacing the memory to a different stick and different slots but the problem still occurs. I reinstalled the CPU and fan too. The pins do not appear damaged in the socket. I have a H110M motherboard with an i3 6100. Thanks

My hypothesis is that the motherboard and or cpu were damaged in the transportation process. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

Unless you can see physical damage, it is unlikely a motherboard or CPU will be damaged during shipping.

Have you ensured you have all the PSU cables (24 pin and CPU 8 pin) plugged in, and if you do, make sure they are fully inserted into the connectors.

If both power cables are properly plugged in, please make sure there is not a jumper installed on the CLEAR CMOS pins. If there is not, turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Try to reset the CMOS using the reset jumper by installing the jumper cap on the pins (or just shorting the pins with a screwdriver) for about 10 seconds. Then, remove the jumper cap, plug the system back in, and try to power it up again.

If this still doesn't do anything, look at the USB header below the motherboard 24 pin power connector. As you look up from that header to the ATX power connector along the edge of the board, right above the ATX power connector there should be stenciled "EZ Debug LED". Right above that, there are three LEDs embedded in the motherboard. The top one is CPU, middle one is DRAM, and third is GPU. With the power turned on, do any of these three LEDs light up?

Also, do you have a video card plugged in, or are you hooked up to the motherboard video port. If you have a GPU installed, try removing it and plugging the monitor cable directly into the motherboard port.

So, out of curiosity, what ended up working?

I just followed everything you said. I cleared the cmos and then it started running perfecting and booted to bios. Thank you so much!!! Quick question, should I clear Cmos every time you switch a processor? Or does it matter what generation it is?

Any time.
