ASUS Z270 TUF Mark 2 No Display or Bios

[skillcenturyhd]

My PC has a 7700k, 16gb corsair ram, crucial mx500 520GB, corsair h100i v2, asus strix 1080. My last motherboard was a z170 and died after 2 years. I upgraded to a 7700k on its release date. I got a new motherboard and ssd yesterday, the ASUS Tuf z270 mark 2. I put all my components together, but when I booted there was no display and an orange light in the top right corner of the motherboard. In the manual it says this means there is a system boot device problem. I’ve tried one stick of ram, no gpu, no ssd (still orange light), but still no display. Help

What PSU are you [strike]having[/strike] using?
Are the fans turning on?

Yes. All the fans are turning on including the PSU fan. It is a corsair CX 750 I believe.

Is that M.2 SSD if it is then try using second M.2 Slot. If it is SATA SSD then try different SATA port.

New motherboard means you need to re-install Windows from scratch. Have you done that already?

If not, may explain the boot device problem.

He is unable to load up the bios completely even with SSD unplugged or plugged. Probably there is some other problem.

Unplug everything from motherboard and remove the CMOS battery let be there for some time. Then test it.

Ok I am an idiot. I did not have my RAM fully pushed in. ALWAYS CHECK.
