Ok so I am building a new computer. I have built a few computers before with minor problems that I have managed to fix from the help of this forum.

I have been trying for 3 days straight to fix this problem by literally googling everything.

Here is my specs.
Msi z170a gaming m3 motherboard
Intel core i3-7100, 3.9 ghz, 3mb cache, lga1151 socket
HyperX 4gb ddr4 -2133 ram
Evea 750 G2 supernover 750watt gold power supply
SanDisk ssd plus 120gb

Also have msi GeForce GTX 1060 gaming 6gb graphics card but I'm not using it just yet. (But I have tested it out after the following didn't work)

My problem is I can't get any display on my monitor. The fans work. The lights turn on the motherboard. The motherboard lights flash with the cpu light first and then the dram light turns on for 5 seconds then turns off.

I have gone through the checklist posted on the forum twice and to no avail nothing has worked for me.

I have tried connecting the dvi and HDMI to the motherboard and also tried the dvi and hmdi cables connecting it with the graphics card seated in both pci_e slots on the motherboard. Still nothing.

I have had the motherboard replaced thinking that was the problem and still the same thing is happening.

I have tried booting it up with the ram in each dram slot and still nothing on the screen.

I have tried booting with the ssd unplugged.

The monitor works fine as it's the monitor I use on my personal pc.

I have reseated and replugged everything at list 4 times each whilst wearing an anti static band the whole time.

Please help! I did get some advice on an earlier thread saying I had a Intel celeron kaby chip which wouldn't work with my motherboard. So I upgraded to the Intel i3.

Sorry for the long post.
