  • Took it in last Tuesday, early this afternoon they called to let me know it was fixed
  • New processor was bad, did not work with known good machines
  • RAM was apparently loosely seated which was causing the lack of display. They said they were able to get it to POST (and installed the latest BIOS update)
  • I took it home. It does not POST.
  • I am taking the computer back tomorrow morning. If they can't get it working in front of me, I am giving up and buying a prebuilt PC online

Might seem silly but Make sure your main power connector to the motherboard is fully tight and flush. Like ZERO space between the connector and MB. I had some issues with mine at first with the last build. It ended up being that main power connector wasn't 100% rammed up in there even though there was the "click". Like less than a fingernail space. It isn't always obvious.
