So I just finished my first pc build and when I turn it on, the LED ready lights come on and the fans on the chassis, PSU, and CPU heatsink all spin up and maintain steady, but the screen is black! No signal received on my monitor. Have tried both gpu and onboard graphics. Neither work. One thing that stands out is the red DRAM led is continuously lit. Is it RAM compatibility issue, or possibly faulty RAM? Specs as follows:

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz LGA 1150

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB Kit DDR3 1866 MT/s CL9 @1.5V. 240 pin.

Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series CX750M ATX/EPS 80 plus

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX760 Superclocked w/ACX Cooler 2GB GDDR5 256bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, SLI Ready

Haha, I took the mobo out to examine it and found half the RAM was sticking out of the DIMM slots. Being a little skittish about damage, I didn't apply enough force to insert them. Reseated, everything running normally.
