When your system hangs at the AF QCODE, do you see anything on your monitor? Also, do any of the QLEDs remain lit?

There are 4 QLEDs beside the 24 pin connector on your motherboard. Please locate then and tell me if any of the 4 remain lit.

Try reseating your CPU. Also inspect the CPU socket for any bent or missing pins while you're at it. When you're reinstalling the Nepton 280L, make sure you aren't overtightening the screws.

Please confirm that you have connected the 8 pin and 4 pin power cables.

Try updating to the latest 0802 BIOS. You can find it in my signature. Use an USB pendrive and the EZ Flash utility in your BIOS.
