Just put this build together and I'm not getting any display to my monitor.

The psu fan is working and so are my case fans/lights, cpu fan and also my gpu fan is spinning.

The debug lights on my motherboard are making this confusing, the Dram light it on for 3 seconds then quickly switches to cpu for half a second then repeats.

Have tryed connecting with graphics cards and also directly from my motherboard. No noise from my speaker at all however when I tested without any ram at all it was beeping.

This is my last post before giving up and paying someone to come out and take a look at it so I really hope someone can be of assistance. Thanks

Specs -

Cpu - g4400

Mobo - h110m vd plus

Ram - samsung 8gb ddr4 - 1rx8 -pc4-2400t

Gpu - rx 560

Psu - corsair vs450

Hdd - Wd green 500gb

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Try to boot using only the bare minimum. CPU + the 1 ram stick you have. It truthfully sucks that you only have one RAM stick, since there's no real way to tell if your RAM is faulty aside from getting either a new stick, borrowing a different stick which may not work in general, or buying a specific RAM tester which are hit or miss.

If the DRAM light is on, then it's most likely a RAM issue however bent CPU pins are known to cause a wide variety of strange issues, so you should also check for that on your motherboard. If you can manage to find a different RAM stick to test it on, that'd be good.

Yeah it sucks however I managed to pick this ram up refurbished for £35. With the current prices of ram it just cut into my budget too much to purchase new.
I just took your advice and unplugged everything other than my cpu and ram, had the same results.
