Setup:
MSI 970a-g46 motherboard
FX 6300 CPU
650 W PSU
Asus 660 Ti
6 GB RAM

I've confirmed that everything is properly seated and properly plugged in. On boot, one light stays lit on the motherboard, but no beeping or any sounds. The CPU fan is running and the GPU is running so I know I have power. I am unable, however, to get anything on the monitor. Seeing as there isn't any integrated on board video for my motherboard, I have it plugged in to my video card through a dvi port. I couldn't find anything helpful in the manual about the light.

Sounds like it could be the VRMs - I have that very same board and it fried on me within 3 months, replaced it with the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3, and haven't had any issues since then.
