Hi, all. This is the first build I've ever encountered any problems, and boy is it a downer.
Installed everything in-case only to fail to POST. The case fans and HSF spun when turned on, however. Breadboarded it with the CPU, HSF, and a DIMM to again fail to POST but with functional fans.
Also, the installed motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth Z87) has multiple LEDs on it - a green one indicating standby power, and red ones individual to particular components (CPU, DIMM, peripherals) that indicate parts at fault (though specific causes are not described in the manual). The green and a red pertaining to the CPU were lit, leading me to believe that the CPU is at fault.
I checked the CPU and socket to find no perceivable damage, so the accuracy of what the LEDs are telling me and whether the PSU, CPU, or motherboard are the cause remains unclear to me.
All parts were purchased new.
