Hey guys, I built a new PC but there seems to be a problem with the first boot. When I turn on the Power Switch, literally nothing happens. I see a PWR_LED turn green but that indicates that the PC is on standby.

Specs:
Intel i5 4690 CPU
Asus Z97-A Motherboard
Antec 900 Case
EVGA GTX 760 GPU
Noctua NHD-14 Heatsink
Corsair CX750 Power Supply
1TB Seagate SSHD

I put in everything, made sure none of the standoffs were in the wrong place, and nothing is happening. I even breadboarded my computer with the CPU/Heatsink, GPU connected and it worked fine. But when I put in the rest of the parts it just doesn't even turn on, none of the fans are even turned on (Yes, I applied the fans to the molex plugs from the PSU).

There is absolutely zilch going on and it's so frustrating, I just want to take it to the shop and have them do it for me but that's just cheating.

You may have done this but go back and check ever thing especially the main Motherboard connection,
recheck your power switch etc. Sometimes its something simple. I know it has happened to me. And I am suppose to know better. I am a cetified tech. Also it is not cheating if no one Knows. Lol. I hope you get it going

Bump... Still problems, I only see the PWR_LED light turn on when I plug in the PSU to the AC. When I turn the PWR on from the top of the board nothing happens.

Hey guys, quick UPDATE: EVERYONE, it works now, but only because I had to remove the chassis fans connected to the mobo. :)
One thing though, I had to remove the chassis fans connected from the molex cables from the MOBO. In the Antec 900 case, there are 2 fans in the front, 1 fan in the back, and 1 on top. Only the fan up top would not spin, but the others would. I'm kinda confused because I took off all the chassis fans connected to the mobo, so why would they keep on spinning? Anyone know whats going on? Thanks guys!

UPDATE: The problem was plugging in the chassis fans to the pins on the motherboard, I unplugged the chassis pin connector and only used molex and all is working fine, even the top fan which was obstructed (that's why it wasn't spinning :p)
