This is a new computer; I scavenged some parts off my old computer (an optical drive, as well as the graphics card) but otherwise everything is a new component.
Last night, I finally got my system assembled, everything to power on, ect. Got the whole thing to boot up, optical drive worked, case fans and case LEDs turned on, CPU fan and GPU fan turned on, ect.
I installed Windows 7, then set it to upgrade to Windows 10 overnight while I slept. By about 6 am, when I went to sleep, it had finished downloading Windows 10 and was starting to install it.
This morning, at about 10 am, I woke up. The PSU fan was on, the green motherboard light was on, the case LEDs and front power indictator on the case were lit up, but nothing else was running - no case fans, no CPU fan, no GPU fan, though an additional green light on the motherboard (the EZ XMP light according to the manual) does light up, none of the POST state LEDs did so. The optical drive works.
I assumed that a reboot failed after observing the system for a short while, so I turned it off, then turned it back on. Same symptoms.
Worse, the system won't POST.
There are no POST state LED lights coming on on the motherboard, but the EZ XMP light does turn on when I power on the computer.
Things I've Tried
Turned the system off and back on again. Turned off everything, including the power supply, then turned the power supply back on and then turned the system back on.
I unplugged the whole thing from the wall with the PSU off for an hour, then turned it back on. Nothing.
Connected the pins to clear the RTC RAM with a screwdriver and a paperclip. No effect
Removed the CMOS battery from the motherboard for several minutes, attempted to clear the RTC RAM again before reinstalling it. No effect.
