  • Thank you for the response, here are answers to your points. 1- No. 2-I can repeat the problem anytime I want. I have done these steps already and narrowed down to #23 in the photo you attached, if #23 is plugged in, the problem occurs, when #23 is unplugged, the computer works perfectly. 3- Yes, tried. 4-Have not tried yet, but I will shortly. 5. Since I can repeat the process with one connector, I am not sure what else to "repeat". I know the panel indicates memory failure, but I have tried EVERY possible combination, and these memory chips work in another computer, and with #23 unplugged.

  • 7- I upgraded the bios to the newest available just 2 or so weeks ago. I believe its A19, but I could be wrong. 8. I will look into these and see if any of them seem appropriate for my issue. Thanks

  • 2-you indicated you swapped parts one by one with a working PC, which is a good idea. However I don't think you ever indicated when you removed EVERYTHING that's not absolutely necessary & try to power on, add connections one-by-one in between power. This may INDEED be pointless since you SEEM to have narrowed it down to the front panel connector. What doesn't make sense is you've tried another motherboard, front, panel, & front panel cable yet the issue persists. Thus I HAVE to assume you didn't replace those all at once so the problem must exist in one of those parts. Have you examined...

  • ...the front panel connector on the motherboard? Maybe all this swap-a-roo damaged a gold contact? Taking a picture with a digital cam will allow zooming for closer inspection. To get BIOS version in Windows: wmic bios list brief. Feel free to give my answer an upvote since you appeared to appreciate my answer. Obviously you don't have to accept it AS the answer if it doesn't solve you problem, which it seems to have not...yet ;)

  • Gregg, I am on Bios version A18. I have upvoted your comment because I do find it very helpful. I have taken a photo of the connector and zoomed in, as well as checked the old connector I took off, and everything looks perfect. No issues at all. I am happy to remove things 1 by 1 again, but I am not sure where else to start, or what to try. I am using the same ram chips, in the same exact slots from a working computer, as well as the same HD's and GPU. The only things besides those are the front panel USB cable, the front panel Audio jack, and the 3 front panel fans.
