Hi all, here's another newbie with the same problem.[strike] No beep[/strike] I have no speakers installed but I have no video and no post, fans switch on but monitor stays black. Should I hear beeps without speakers?
Been googling for solutions and have tried the most common troubleshooting, including these steps:

Everything seems to be connected properly and when I throw the switch, both sys fans start, CPU fan starts, GFX card fan starts, HDD is spinning. However the red EZ debug led is on for CPU, DRAM and VGA leds are off. I am sure the CPU is seated correctly. Thermo paste applied. When I hold the power on button for 4 seconds the PC switches off. So that seems to work as expected.
I have unplugged the sys fans, no luck either.
Plugged my AOC digital monitor into the HDMI slot of the GFX card. There is no HDMI on the mobo.
Config:
Intel Core i7 6700K 4x 4.00GHz So.1151
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo Tower Kühler
MSI Z170-A PRO Intel Z170 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX
1TB WD Red WD10EFRX 64MB 3.5" (8.9cm) SATA 6Gb/s HDD
256GB Samsung 950 Pro M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 32Gb/ V-NAND MLC Toggle SSD
16GB G.Skill RipJaws V rot DDR4-3000 DIMM CL15 Dual Kit
2GB Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti OC Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16
520 Watt Seasonic S12II Bronze Non-Modular 80+ Bronze
Snuggled into a Fractal Design Define S ATX Computer Case
Any other suggestions lads/lasses? Much appreciated.
Cheers
PS: I think I touched the exposed area of the CPU when unpacking it, not sure if that could have anything to do with it.
