I just picked up all brand new parts from Fry's and built a new machine. When I power it on, the CPU fan comes on, the graphics card fan comes up, and the "GeForce GTX" logo lights up. However, I hear no beeps from the PC speaker (which is correctly installed).

Here is everything I have tried:
■ Went through this checklist twice: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
■ Ensured the 8-pin CPU power cable is plugged in firmly, all the way
■ Ensured the main motherboard power connector (the big one) is plugged in firmly, all the way
■ Put the RAM in the A2 and B2 slots as suggested in the manual
■ Tried each RAM stick separately in each slot
■ Ensured RAM was firmly pressed down with each test
■ Tried with only the following installed / plugged in: CPU, heatsink, CPU fan, PSU, one stick of RAM
■ Plugged an IDE harddrive into the PSU, and the harddrive powered up just fine
■ Ensured the CPU is correctly installed with respect to the grooves and the arrow
■ Ensured there are no bent pins on the motherboard
■ Exchanged the motherboard and CPU at Fry's for exactly the same ones and tried again -- same exact result
■ Ensured too much thermal paste was not used (used a little less than a pea size)
■ Plugged HDMI cable into integrated HDMI video port and then into monitor (with and without Titan card installed)
■ Plugged HDMI cable into Titan HDMI video port and then into monitor
■ Plugged DVI cable into Titan and then into monitor (tried both DVI ports on Titan)
■ Ensured the Titan is firmly pressed down and installed correctly
■ Bought a brand new Belkin HDMI cable
■ Tested the monitor via HDMI with my MacBook Pro, and I get video
■ Read the entire motherboard manual twice
■ Pressed the CLR_CMOS button
■ "Breadboarded" the machine, with the motherboard on a piece of cardboard with the CPU, heatsink, CPU can, CPU power cable, and main motherboard power cable plugged in. I ran turned this on and got exactly the same result, so nothing in the case is shorting out the motherboard.
■ Ran without RAM, and same result -- no beeps, CPU fan spins, nothing else happens.
■ Tried a VGA cable from the video card (via a DVI -> D-SUB adapter) to the monitor
■ Flashed the BIOS with the latest version
Things I've noticed:
■ The Q Code readout always reads "00"
■ No fans other than the CPU fan come on
■ If I plug a fan into the CPU_OPTS connection, any fan I test (in addition to the CPU fan) then does come on.
■ PSU fan comes on for half a second when powering the machine on, then the PSU fan turns off. I read online that it is possible the PSU could be intelligent about when it turns the fan on based on load/temperature.
■ USB keyboard is plugged in, and pressing CAPS LOCK does not make the LED come on
Here are the pertinent specs:
■ ASUS Z97 Deluxe motherboard
■ Intel Core i7 4790 processor
■ 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro memory (2 sticks)
■ EVGA Geforce GTX Titan Z
■ Corsair HX1050 PSU
