Hey,

I recently finished building my pc, however when it boots, nothing will appear on the screen. On the motherboard the DRAM EzDebug LED lights up, which led me to believe that it was a RAM problem. I could not solve the problem using the RAM I bought (HX421C14FBK2/8), and it turned out that it wasn't on the compatible memory list for the motherboard. So I decided to order some more RAM, this time one that was compatible (CMV8GX4M1A2133C15). However, this did not fix the issue either. Any insight into what may be wrong would be very helpful :)

My specs are:
Motherboard: MSI H110M Gaming
CPU: Intel i5 7400
RAM: Hyper X Fury 8gb (HX421C14FBK2/8) and Corsair Value Select 8gb (CMV8GX4M1A2133C15)
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 Dual Fan OC 3GB
PSU: Be Quiet! Pure Power 9 500W
SSD: Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB
HDD: WD Blue 1TB

Thanks again for any help.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that everything turns on i.e fans, gpu, psu, hdd etc.

Your H110 motherboard can't recognise Kaby Lake processors because it needs a BIOS update first. You need a Skylake CPU to be able to access and update the BIOS, or ask your vendor to update it for you when you return it (if possible), or you trade your i5-7400 for a Skylake i5-6500 processor, or lastly, you change the H110 motherboard for a B250/H270 model.

Kaby Lake only works with B250/H270 motherboards out of the box.

check the mb sticker for the bios rev on the mb see if it has the bios update. try to post with one ram stick and no video card see if it boots to onboard video. if there no post look online for ami/amd bios recovery. if you put the newest bios file on the root of a fat32 usb stick. and another copy that renamed aimrecovery or somthing like that per online. boot the pc up it may take 20 min or more for the mb to try and update to the newest bios file.

Thanks for your help guys. The problem was definitely the cpu/mobo I was using. I'll be using using an older Skylake cpu to update the motherboards bios so that I can use my current cpu.
