I've used this card for a new configuration, and I'm currently waiting for the processor.
I wanted to try booting the computer without the processor to see if my connections were correct, but the computer wouldn't turn on at all, not even a light.
Does the motherboard have protection against this?

Question

Answer

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
I can confirm that everything is plugged in and that the power supply is on.
I have watched a video of someone doing the Q-Flash and nothing lights up until he presses the button in question.
No problem, I'll wait until I get the processor to find out for sure.
Thanks a lot.

Answer

This motherboard is equipped with the Q-FLASH Plus function. This allows you to update your BIOS without having to install the CPU, RAM or GPU. So it should be able to power up without a CPU.
It may be a connection error, so check that the power switch is also switched on.
