I just got some components from Newegg, the Z270 M5 gaming msi motherboard and i7-7700 kaby lake cpu, some new ram and a new case
I mounted the mobo, put the cpu in, went through this and that, and I get no power at all to the motherboard, no led lights or anything. I tried hooking and unhooking components one by one. I am certain the psu is fine because I tested it on another system. The case power switch is fine also. I removed both sticks of ram and tested them separately alone in the proper slot and still nothing.
Newegg has made me an RMA for the motherboard itself, but I am concerned that it could also be the CPU which is the issue. I removed the CMOS battery for 20 seconds and also tried that, I have no jumper cap or whatever it's called to try that troubleshooting technique.
Any advice would be appreciated, I have worked my butt off trying to figure out what the problem is, I would really hate to get an RMA'd motherboard and find out it doesn't work either because of something I'm doing wrong

else make sure you have the positive and negative switch buttons correctly.. read the motherboard manual on the pins used for power switch , reset switch and ground.... double check the cables of them.. usually black cables are the ground or negative polarity - and RED ARE THE + possitive ones
