Built myself a new pc today however it will not boot, I would like to add it has done 3 times in but each time I couldn’t get into the bios as the kb was usb

Done all the normal things I can think of;
Check all cables including power
Tried booting with one stick of ram in all ram slots and nothing
Cleared the cmos
Stripped down the build 4 time in total and nothing, was thinking I may have bent one of the pins for the CPU on the mobo but it all looks fine (can’t see any bent pins)

On the back of the mobo there is an LCD display saying CPU init
Any input plz I’m at wits end here

SPEC
Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition QX6850 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 3.00GHz 1333FSB
Noctua NH-U12F (Socket LGA775/754/939/940/AM2) Heatsink
Asus Striker Extreme nForce 680
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit
Enermax Galaxy 1000W EGA1000EWL ATX2.2 Modular PSU

You might want to fully edit out the sweary.

What EXACTLY happens when it 'doesn't' boot. Any beeps? Fans spinning? Lights etc.
 
Sounds awfully like what happened to me whereby everything seemed to work, but no display was given. Replaced the motherboard and all was fixed. :)

Have you connected the 12v 4 pin plug that comes out of the PSU and connects into the motherboard?
 
i've connected the 8pin by removing the cap from the mobo alos have tried 4 pin - done both

looks like one of the mobo pins were bent - the pressure from Noctua NH-U12F clamping down on the mobo caused the posting issue.

i've currently got a standard intel cooler on there and pc boots new mobo on its way.
