Not getting any post with the motherboard. Have it seated on a cardboard box atm to test. I have 1 stick of ram inserted (channel should not matter with 1 stick of ram), GPU seated powered (gpu tested on other pc), CPU properly seated, h110gt cpu fan header plugged into cpuopt slot.

The orange power LED will come on saying that the board is powered, but I am not getting any post and none of my fans start etc. Tested the PSU by shorting the mobo cable and it works fine.

This mobo has red leds to indicate a GPU, CPU, RAM problem and none of them are on.

Not sure what's going on.
 
Solution
Try starting the board by shortly touching with a screwdriver the 2 pins on the motherboard corresponding to the case power button (check the board's manual for their location).

Worked thanks. This build has been a real nightmare. Faulty PSU, first MSI mobo was faulty also.

Build is :
I7-5820k
32GB DDR4 RAM
980ti Hybrid SLI

Shorting the power button worked so I'm going to precede with the build
