I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out the problem here. Yes, I have worked through the 31 step troubleshooting guide, still no solutions.
A few days ago, I tried my first PC build with my components. When it didn't output anything to the display, I tried breadboarding it, which didn't help. My motherboard will flash the DRAM LED when powered on, but it turns off after a few seconds. The CPU cooler and case fans also turn on.
I tested my PSU with a paperclip and it turned on fine. I thought the motherboard may have been DOA, so I had a replacement shipped.
Well 2 days later and with a new motherboard, all the same problems occur. I have no clue what to do at this point.
Specs
Motherboard: MSI Z170A SLI PLUS
CPU: i7-7700K
Cooler: Cryorig H7
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400
GPU: MSI GTX 970
PSU: EVGA Supernova 650
I have tried the following configurations while breadboarding:
MB connected to monitor by VGA, no GPU
MB connected to monitor by VGA, with GPU
GPU connected to monitor by VGA (with DVI adapter)
MB connected to TV by VGA, no GPU
MB connected to TV by VGA, with GPU
MB connected to TV by HDMI, no GPU
MB connected to TV by HDMI, with GPU
GPU connected to TV by HDMI
Any help would be appreciated, I am extremely frustrated right now.
