HELP Asus Crossshair x formula z wont boot (start light blinks)

nathanmaddux
Level 7
I have already had this board rma once before bacause the board was dead upon arrival. no sign of life. Just got the replacement mobo and when i go to turn it on, the start light flashes every maybe 6 seconds. as well as two power lights on the gpu. those three lights all blink at the same time about every six seconds. nothing boots up no beeps. nothing. i bought this board from newegg and it just doesnt seem like their quality control is up to par. its an older board so i can understand if it may have sit on a shelf in some warehouse for some time but two boards that dont work in a row just isnt right. i looked in the manual that came with the mobo and i didnt see anything about the start light flashing. i just cant tell if its a mobo issue or a psu issue... or both at this point. i wouldnt be surprised. not very happy with this so far especially since i have had all the parts ready for a month now. just cant find a solution to this problem.

this is the rest of my pc build.
