MOBO: ASRock Z97 Extreme3 : Part No: 90-MXGU90-AOUAYZ
CPU: Intel i5-4440 3.1GHz 6MB Cache LGA1150
RAM: G.Skill DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 2x8GB F3-1600C11D-16GNT
PS: FSP 750W Raider PPA7501400
GCard: Gigabyte RADEON R7 260X 2048MB GDDR5 OC Version
Put it all together plugged it in, every fan turns on but the graphics card fans. Also, a single light blinks on the keyboard.
No video from VGA, DVI, or HDMI on MOBO or the video card.
I tried different sequences of RAM configuration, 1/3, 2/4, 1, 3.
I completely removed the video card and reset the CMOS.
Still didn't work.
I took it all apart including the CPU. Put it back together.
Each time I have plugged in the CPU power and MOBO power and they are seated fine.
The RAM is seated perfectly.
Still didn't work.
I took out the power supply and tried a 600W OCZ ModX Stream-pro from my working computer.
I also replaced the RAM with 2x G.Skill Ripsawz F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL DDR-1333 PC3-1066 4GB from my working computer.
Still no luck, all the fans turn on, but no video.
The only thing I can think of is the MOBO is DOA, which is why I'm posting here.
When I screwed it into the frame I used every screw hole and I did not over-tighten the screws.
Edit: SOLVED
I took it all apart again and this time I didn't bother screwing it into the frame. It turned on and booted to BIOS fine. Apparently you can't screw this in hardly at all. I barely got the screws in and am leaving it at that.
