Hello. Been all over the 'net searching and trying many things to get my upgraded pc to work, but it will only try to start for around 10-15 seconds, then it turns off and immediately back on again. Monitor says no signal. Fans and power leds turn on, and hdd was firing up every time it turned on again (until I disconnected hdd for testing) My motherboard beep speaker either isn't working, or there's no beeps.
Below are my specs and what I can remember I've tried (which is basically, everything! been at this for 13+ hours over two days...) My previous build was working fine, including gaming in Fortnite, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Anthem beta. I'm upgrading for Oculus.
Motherboard: ASRock B450 Pro4 (NEW)
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 w/ Wraith Cooler (NEW)
RAM: G.Skill DDR4 2133 x2 (NEW)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Graphics: GeForce GTX 1070
PSU: Corsair CX 650
Case: Thermaltake Commander MS-I (don't judge! lol)
Double check (aka, yes these things are true):
Things I have tried:
It's probably a bad mobo or cpu, right? But if my beep speaker aint beeping, I'm not sure how I can narrow it down, and I don't want to cough up more than I paid for the motherboard for someone else to figure it out. I read somewhere the bios might need to be updated for that cpu, but if you can't do that without booting it up and it won't boot, how the heck is that compatible? Not sure what to do at this point, so any suggestions appreciated!

Double check (aka, yes these things are true):
- All parts are compatible (via System Builder)
- Cables are where they belong and plugged in tight
- RAM is in the correct slots
- No cables touching anything that aren't plugged in
- Motherboard is up off the case (case has raised platform bits already at screws, compatible)
Things I have tried:
- Disconnecting graphics card and using onboard graphics, both HDMI and D-SUB connections (HDMI cable and monitor are the same I was already using)
- Reseating RAM
- Cleaning off and reapplying thermal paste (twice)
- Inspecting cpu pins with a magnifying glass
- Disconnecting cables and air-dusting out all connections
- Disconnecting restart cable
- Disconnecting everything except mobo, start cable, cpu+fan, RAM
- Disconnecting everything except mobo, start cable, cpu+fan
- Resetting CMOS
- I'm sure there's more I can't think of atm...
