I just had the same problem. I received all of the above codes, but it would all end in 41. 41 is a fatal code. according to the Intel codes, this is a processor error, and upon careful inspection of my processor socket, it appeared to have been damaged when they slid the black plastic cover on. I have had 2 bad boards like this, so my advice is buy from a reputable dealer, because you should not have to troubleshoot a brand new mobo. I bought mine on Amazon, and they overnighted me a new board both times. here is 41 from the intel book. 0x41 – 0x4F CPU Initialization (PEI, DXE, SMM), 12 is 0x12 Early chipset register programming including graphics initialization, this is fatal too. It means no video, just like mine tonight. So inspect your processor socket with a magnifying glass, because again I reiterate, this is my second bad socket in ten builds. I always set the board on the box, and post it and update the bios before I install it in the case. Once you know it works, you can leave the ram and processor, and cooling fan in and install the board. This board is really touchy. I have spent many hours on the phone with Intel, and if you run Windows 7 or 8, I find that Bios version 061 works the best. There is also a sleep issue with the Gigabyte LAN adapter. You must go back into device manager and the Gigabyte LAN adapters, both of them, and to power management tab, and uncheck all of the boxes, or the computer will not stay asleep.
