I've got a pc build with a bunch of old parts, I know every component works in other builds,

Motherboard turns itself on after 4seconds of psu power.

Completely unresponsive, absolutely nothing but the fans turning on.

Any tips? I have reseated everything and tried swapping parts I can, likely motherboard is my guess.

Dp55wb motherboard
i5 cpu
Random Lp card, other gpus don't work ethier
 
Soz, 1st gen, I didn't remember the exact one, can't even post or get to a bois
pop the CPU out and look, you said the parts were all tested so i'm hoping you have an older chip you can use to flash the BIOS with

Nope, nothing lga 1156, the motherboard is the only untested (by me) part, I brought it second hand and was shown working.
i5 670
 
what psu that you use? could be from psu or motherboard
have you checked the processor socket?
 
Full specs dude, not vague things like "i5"
To the OP, did you miss this bit?
Unless you want vague answers of course.
 
just test it outside the case, just to make sure

More details, I plugged in the power button and every 4 or so seconds in turns of its led for a fraction of a second, I can hold the button down to kill the pc

Same problems
 
I saw that bit the first time, I meant all system specs, not vague things like a 650W PSU etc.
To help people help you we need specifics. Brands, model numbers etc.

I gave the specifics of everything I havent tried different products of so I have ruled them out as bad
Also I'm not at the pc Rn so its all memorif it's that important I get absolutely everything currently connected even If ik it works in a different system, tell me

Update, I came to the conclusion that an i5 670 needs a bios version 161, this board(Intel dp55wb) has a lower version. I will be travelling to a friend's house who has an older chip to try flash it with in the following weeks.
