Before you ask, YES I have checked all of the comprehensive lists that you guys have so kindly compiled. Honestly, I feel like they were friggin amazing. BUT my problem persists!
My MOBO will not post, but can be jumpstarted (?) when I breadboard it... It starts up, fans spin, but no power to the monitor, dead display. Do I have an incompatibility in the build? Shorted the motherboard? (I use an antistatic bracelet so i don't think so but still, maybe?)
MOBO-
ASRock H97M-ITX/AC Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
GPU-
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card
Processor-
Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor
PSU-
Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
RAM-
EVGA SSC 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
Everything is installed properly (to my knowledge, I've taken it apart like 10 different times, you would think one of them would have been right if not all...)
I thank anyone who has any answers and I hope you welcome me on my journey to play Minecraft in the highest res available. (Also Skyrim, beautiful game on PC :p )

I see, your CPU has intel HD graphics.
well try it with one stick of RAM, check the manual for the correct slot.

I did, still nothing. I found the slot that was preferred and then tried them both separately just to be sure. I just ordered a MOBO speaker, it'll be here Tuesday if I can't find a solution by then. I'm pretty sure the mobo isn't dead but that's my biggest concern...
