I'm at my wit's end trying to get my first PC build setup going. I incorporated a lot of advice from people on here (and other places to build my graphics workstation. I'm not sure if I made a compatibility mistake, but when I go to boot up the system, I get NOTHING on my monitor. I'm using the monitor from my old computer, so I know that it works. I even tried plugging in my old geforce card from my old PC and NOTHING! To minimize (my own) confusion, I disconnected everything, so all I have is the MOBO, CPU, and NVIDIA K4000 card.
I updated the BIOS using the ROG USB method. Now, sometimes the computer runs for awhile, then shuts down. I switched back to the other bios, and still nothing.
The only MOBO LED that is lit up (in red) is the boot device. Does this matter is I can't even see the screen to load the BIOS settings? I tried using a different monitor and I am about to try a couple more, but nothing seems to be getting transmitted from the GPU (no matter which one I use).
Any ideas for a starting point to figure this out?
Here are my components:

GPU: NVIDIA® Quadro® K4000 VCQK4000-PB 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Workstation Video Card
