Yes. I found a package of 2032's and tried a couple of different batteries but I still get the same result. There are two connectors on the board for CPU fan and I tried both because I read that if the board can't detect the CPU fan, it won't boot.
I'm really stumped. I just don't see how it's not the motherboard, unless I received a faulty chip which would be the first time ever for me in 24 years. |

I just removed the battery and let it sit for 5 minutes, then touched the positive and negative on the CMOS to reset but as soon as I hit the power button on the case, the red LED lights up.
I just verified that the CPU is lined up properly with the motherboard (there is an arrow at the bottom corner of the chip that aligns with an arrow on the board) but again, as soon as I boot, the red CPU LED is lit. The Noctua D15s is mounted to the board as tightly as it can be without breaking it, so the connection there is good and once again, all of the fans, including the CPU fan are spinning. It just doesn't find the CPU. Should I exchange both the motherboard and chip to be safe? This is just so bizarre. |

Clearly your mobo is getting power, since you have lights on the mobo LEDs. The fact that the CPU PW LED is red makes me question the CPU more than the mobo or PS. The fact that the mobo is trying to tell you that the CPU isn't getting power is significant. But doesn't really guarantee that the problem is with the CPU. But that's probably the first thing I would suspect. Usually when a mobo goes bad, it will just briefly boot and then all power dies like you pulled the power cord. But still, mobo issues can be really weird and random, so you can't completely rule that out. Just less likely. I would probably try replacing the CPU first. If you have a local Micro Center or other store that sells CPUs, you can try one and if that's the fix you can return the bad one. Late troubleshooting question, and probably not relevant, but are you sure you plugged in the additional 4port and 8port cables that go from the power supply to your motherboard? Like circled here: PS to mobo connections:

I started a return on Amazon for the CPU on Friday, only to print out the label to see that the seller is less than 3 miles from my home, so I'm calling them tomorrow to see if I can run down to their shop to either test or exchange, rather than go through the mail. I'll be pleasantly surprised if its the CPU because the Gigabyte Z490 Vision D isn't available for purchase anywhere now, as Amazon must have sold out of their upcoming stock, so if it's the board, I have to figure out a new Z490 with TB3, at least two NVMe slots and 4 Ram slots, which seems to be a tall order. As for the power on the board, yes, I plugged in the 24 pin, the 8 pin CPU (I originally had the 8 pin and 4 pin plugged in using the Thermaltake PSU but the Gigabyte Tech said the 4 pin wasn't necessary), along with the PCIe power. It's pretty simple, as their are only three main power sources. So, it's either the CPU or the board. I should know at some point tomorrow and will be sure to post. Thanks again for your time! |

How do you guys feel about ASUS boards today?
I built ASUS based computers from 1997-2014 but had issues with three consecutive motherboards. Two were DOA and one died about 18 months after purchase, so I've stuck with Gigabyte since . But the Z490 Vision D is sold out or 2 to 3 times the normal price so it looks like ASUS is my only option, as people do not recommend the MSI boards. Anyone here have issues lately with ASUS? The closest is the ASUS ProArt Z490-CREATOR 10G. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087YVMZ5K...v_ov_lig_dp_it |

ASUS can be hit/miss, but that really applies to all manufacturers.
Research model options you're looking at for a good picture. |

The ASUS I linked has most of what I need, so I may just go that route and buy an extended warranty (blech) because it will be months before that Gigabyte board is available again. |

What I usually do is google a particular model I am looking at and try to see anything that sticks out like warnings about shitty drivers, which usually is what will sink boards. I did a quick one for the heck of it on that board and nothing looked to stick out. |
