While bench testing a new board for my system I can get no post. I get "
Boot Failure, System halted" , new board, CPU, Video card, RAM and PS. Could
it be a faulty board or can someone suggest a setting or something I am
overlooking?

No voltage or low voltage in any one of about 25 different places.

No connection or poor connection on any one of about 25 plug in connection
points

Any of your components could be bad or mismatched.

In other words - it's impossible to troubleshoot without having the physical
computer in front of you. You would also need test equipment and spare parts
for substitution testing. If it is beyond your capabilities (equipment wise
and knowledge wise), take it to a tech!

There is a bootable device connected to the motherboard? Also,
no POST might be attributed to a "quick boot" option that might
be the default factory setting.
