Hey guys, I was wondering if my motherboard was bad because i just recently put it together and it seems to not work. The fans run, and the CPU fan runs but one thing i cant seem to straighten out is that

1. Once Powered on, it doesnt power off unless PSU gets turned off.
2. The Hard Drive Activity LED isnt blinking at all.
3. No signal to the Monitor.
4. No MB Beeps
5. All LED's on the MB are on but still not working
6. No BIOS (odviously because the monitor isn't turning on)
7. Did a clearing of the CMOS by taking out the battery but still no good

my build is:

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

1.) Make sure your 8-pin CPU power connector on the motherboard is connected to the 4-pin connector of the power supply. The 8-pin connector has a black cover over half of it to guide you for connecting a 4-pin plug.
2.) Make sure the 6-pin power supply connector is plugged into the jack on the forward edge of the graphics card.
3.) If that doesn't work, try booting it using onboard video after removing the video card
