I'm just trying to get to turn on right now with:

Mobo: MSI z97 gaming 5
CPU: Intel i7-4790k

Right now I'm trying to get it to turn on with nothing but the CPU connected. It seems like the power isn't getting to the motherboard. When I plug the power in there is this one light on the mobo that turns on then off in a half second. The case led is on. But it's not turning on at all. I've already tried everything I could.
 
Solution
did the fan spin on the cpu???
reseat the cpu properly...check for the alignments of the pins....also u need to attach one ram stick for the pc to post...
