This is my build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/pVBc23
When I try to turn it on, 2 white lights turn on on the graphics card and I can see a small blue light flash on the motherboard(to the right of the battery inbetween BAT1 and JBAT1) but nothing else happens. When I put the power supply into the tester, the power supply starts(fan), I can hear the ssd and hard drive starting and the optical drive works but when I put it into the motherboard none of these things happen and no fans work. I found a possible compatibility problem with the msi z97 gaming 5 and intel i7-4709k where if the bios isn't updated then it may not start "It needs BIOS 1.2, Core i7 Haswell Refresh i7-4790K 100 4.0 1M 8M C0 88 HD Graphics 4600 1250MHz 7917v12.zip, Only way you'll going to do this if this isn't on the mobo, is you'll have to get whoever you're getting it from to flash it. Or you'll have to buy a lower spec CPU then flash it then put yours back in" http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2324189/intel-4790k-work-msi-z97-gaming-motherboard.html
I sent the motherboard back to get it fixed because I thought it was a faulty one and didn't know about this problem before so I don't know if they would have updated the bios if this is the problem. I think it's either wrong bios or possibly the cpu as nothing changed when I got the rma back.
