Thanks, the Asrock looks good! It takes DDR3 1600, right?
Yeah, that's what it says on the Newegg page.

I have encountered this on systems before. Wouldn't POST, fans wouldn't spin up, CPU wouldn't fire up. Reseated every component, nothing worked. Pulled the CMOS battery, put it back in, system fired up just fine.
On an old Gigabyte P67 board, I once had to disconnect power, pull the CMOS battery, and hold down the power button for a few seconds (i.e. trying to turn on the PC). I guess that drained some sort of capacitor somewhere.

Then it was all good.
