Hi guys, I just built a new X99 system with the Asus X99 pro motherboard,

Everything is hooked up but whenever i try to boot it I get nothing!

The leds on my NZXT Kraken x61 come on when the power supply is switched on and two leds on my motherboard come on (RED power light, GREEN reset light)

I've tried to boot the system up by pressing the power button on the motherboard, the fan on the NZXT Kraken shows a slither of life by spinning just a tiny bit, and no other fans or anything else comes on, no beeps, no Q codes, no nothing.

What could be the problem here?
I've checked that the CPU and ATX power cables are plugged into the motherboard securely and they seem pretty fine.

I'm honestly stumped and really don't wanna go through the headache of pulling everything out again! Urgent help needed please. Does anyone know what could be causing this? It's like it's completely dead but it can't be because some leds on the motherboard are on.

Tried it all, didn't work, otherwise I wouldn't have asked the question.

Something I did notice was that the video power cables were a bit hard to push in and I am now wondering if they aren't in properly. This could cause a failure to boot right?

It's 2am here so I will put it on my to do list for the morning.
