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.

Is possible, the controller went out in my 1800X and caused me to incur near $300 in expenses as well as a month of downtime, though it sounds very odd, but it seems you've eliminated all the other possible causes. amdmatt you've one of these things, what's it sound like to you?
Thanks for your reply Black_zion, what do you think amdmatt?
