Last week i sold my gpu with the intention of buying a new one, PC was working great, i'd just like to point out. Yesterday i purchased a msi gtx 1070 gaming x 8g and a corsair h80i along with some other stuff like lighting and sleeving for all my cables. Anyway, i hooked up everything making sure all was well, taking my time with cable management ect, only to find out the pc wasn't booting, or rather everything was turning on, fans were spinning, leds were on... but no signal on the monitor? I've built numerous pc's, changed endless amount of hardware, and never ran into a similar issue. I tried removing the purchased extension cables, making sure they weren't faulty, no effect.. Re-seated ram + gpu + cpu, no effect, tried a different pci slot, no effect. I then came to a conclusion that i must have wired something incorrectly, as there was no way hardware was at fault right? nope... ran everything outside of the PC, making sure everything was in their correct areas, still. No avail.
Any help would be appreciated, you guys on the forum never let me down :)

Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-8350
GPU: MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G
MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming Mobo
PSU: EVGA SuperNova G2 Gold 650W psu
Ram: Kingston HyperX 2 x 4gb @ 1600mhz
Cooler: Corsair H80i v2

Cheers,
Dejan.

hook up a speaker to the motherboard, the motherboard may be telling you what the issue is.
any old speaker can be used for diagnostics, I used my stereo speakers in a pinch.

if your speaker is hooked up and you are getting nothing, then the motherboard would be my guess.
with speaker connected, remove the RAM from the system, try to boot. a healthy motherboard will beep at you like crazy, mine has 5 short beeps, pause, repeat.

well it sounds like you got a doa 1070 :( if your old one worked fine, then this one doesnt, it is either the motherboard capacitors going out, or your gpu is doa, so as long as you didnt beat up the mobo its most likely a doa 1070

Thanks for the reply buddy :) I was sure it wasnt the gpu but currently have no way of testing it at the moment, yesterday i tried hooking up a small speaker/buzzer, with everything connected and it had no boot tones/error tones. Would this change if i removed the ram?
