Hello Everyone,
I am new to PC building but consider myself to be pretty tech savvy. My problem is this: I power on my mobo with just 1 stick of RAM installed in the a2 slot like the manual says, have tried other known good RAM also, and when the computer turns on the CPU LED blinks for like .02 sec, then the DRAM light stays lit, and my PC will not display. I have searched numerous forums, including that available on this and on reddit even (This seems to be very similar to my situation)
https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/316aat/troubleshooting_cpu_led_flashes_and_turns_off_but/#bottom-comments
however, I have tried following these troubleshooting steps, and cannot get any display with DVI or with HDMI.
I got frustrated to the point where I removed my Mobo from the case, and all I have plugged in is one stick of RAM, my CPU, my CPU cooler, and the 24pin ATX power cable and the CPU power cable. ANY help would be greatly appreciated, as I am really hoping I don't have any defective parts. I also tried checking the CPU (No Bent Pins), and have moved the 2 RAM sticks I have to all 4 slots, going one stick at a time. My Build is as follows: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Asus - PRIME Z270-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
