Naturally I assumed this was a DOA motherboard and the store replaced it immediately. To my surprise I'm having the exact same issue with a new board. I've tried 4 different GPU's so far. Display ports work fine on slots 2-4 and DVI works on all slots.
I've unplugged everything from the board except the GPU, CPU and 1 stick of memory in slot A1. I've also put in a stick of memory that is on the QVL in this configuration and the problem persist.
I'm not sure how the architecture works could I possibly have a bad CPU?
Thanks very much for all your help.
