Hey everyone. I've received and assembled the parts to my new build, only to see it fail to boot.
The cpu fan, chassis fan, and gpu fan all spin, the power led lights up, the optical drive works, but there is no signal to the monitor, and the usb ports don't work.
I disassembled everything again and connected only the cpu, mobo, 1 stick of ram, and gpu - same problem.
Here is what I can confirm:
-ram is properly seated, notches clicked in.
-mobo standoffs screwed in
-no integrated graphics on either the mobo or cpu but am using a dedicated pci-e gpu that is properly seated and powered
-known good monitor plugged directly into gpu
-psu 24pin connector, atx12v cpu power, fan power, usb header, pwr switches, all plugged in
-cpu and cpu fan properly installed
-there is no beeping from the system because the mobo doesn't come with a system speaker or beep codes.
-power plugged into the wall. also tested my psu with an older pc and it was able to boot
-mobo came with latest bio version but i have since reset the cmos during troubleshooting by shorting with jumper and removing the battery

Anyone know what the most likely problem is? Any help would be immensely appreciated. I was having a lot of fun with my first build until now, this is just driving me nuts, and I'd rather not have to go through rma hell more than necessary.
