I've been really looking forward to my first full build. The last of the parts came yesterday and I plugged everything in as per tecmo34's step by step guide. Then nothing happened. I checked for loose screws and shorts, tried swapping RAM and finally ended up tearing everything out, putting the MoBo on a box and clipping the PSU and CPU/fan in as suggested in shortstuff_mt's guide. There's a green light on the MoBo, but there's no beeps when I try to start it. I've even tried using a PSU that I know is good. I've been digging through threads and trying everything. I'm hoping I've just missed something and I don't have to get a new motherboard.
Build:
Asus Sabertooth Z77
Gigabyte GV-N680OC-2GD
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1300W
Intel i7-3770 3.4GHz
G.Skill Ripjaw X (32GB)
Things I've tried:
-Everything in shortstuff_mt's "PERFORM THESE STEPS before posting about POST/boot/no video problems!" guide.
-Using a known wokring PSU
-Checking the MoBo for stuck switches
-Reversing the power, speaker and HD LED cables just in case they were backwards.
Things to note:
There is a green light on the bottom of the motherboard that comes on. No other lights or beeps.
