Mobo is getting power: cpu, gnu, and chassis fans all start whirring when I turn it on; however, no beep, no video. have reseated cpu and ram, reset cmos. I think that i haven't hooked up some connection from psu properly. 24 pin atx power connector hooked to 20 pin from psu (aligned with pins 1 and 13) + 4 pin from psu (which came zip tied to 20 pin). other 4 pin plugged into tax 12v, aligned with pins 1 and 5. i have tried with and without the gpu, and when tried with, i have hooked up extra power via 6 pin and tried without. 1st built ever, I am very much a noob, and really thankful for any suggestions. thanks!
