Hello all, this is my first time building a computer from scratch. So far everything has gone relatively well, except for the fact that I now can't get anything to show up on my monitor. This is my build. I've used multiple monitors and put the RAM in separate slots with multiple reboots. I'm simply trying to get any kind of signal to my monitors, (which I'm assuming would be bios). Even though it's my first time wiring, I feel as if the wires are where they need to be. I have some extra wires, but they don't seem to fit anything else on the motherboard or power unit. All of my fans are working, as well as my cooling unit, the graphics card fan is also spinning, my power button on my case works, as well as the fan speed and LED light controls. My only other problem would be that I can't get the mouse and keyboard to work either. When I plug in the mouse, it lights up for a few seconds and then the light goes away. My hard drive doesn't have anything on it yet, so I've read that USB 3.0's can't read a mouse or keyboard because there's a driver needed for it, and I'm unsure if I have any USB 2.0 ports (which apparently don't need drivers). I've been working on this for a few days and looked at endless threads. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks.

the two red usb are your usb2 , so try using them for the keyboard and mouse 1st
as too why no graphics , make sure your using the right dvi output, if using dvi that is
if your monitor supports it try using the hdmi too to test the signal
