Brand new build turns on, but displays nothing

[double00ton]

Hopefully someone can help.

I bought all the ingredients to make a new, powerful PC. Problem is, once I installed everything and went to power it on, the computer powered up, but I got no video display. Nothing at all. There is no beeping either, so I am not sure if it is posting. I actually tried this with two brand new motherboards, and got the same issue.

Here is what I have:
Motherboard: Asus X99-AII
Processor: intel i7 6800K
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB
GFX Card: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Hard Drive: DekstarNAS 4TB
CPU Cooling Fan: Corsair H75

There are a couple links to some pictures I took of the computer. Hopefully that helps.

So are you plugging the video cable into the CPU or GPU?

easy solution is to take everything out except ram and cpu and PSU. try to boot. If successful, add a device and repeat until you encounter an issue. If unsuccessful, you have a bad device or your mobo requires ram in specific slots, missed a power connector, psu not powerful enough for the card, etc. etc.

There is no onboard video output on the mobo, it runs through the GFX card. Is that what you are asking?

Thank you for your response. Just to clarify, the system boots up, I just get no video output. There are no beeps either. If it helps, the QR code is 00 and the PWR_LED button is red.

Make sure to check your RAM, if one of them is not pushed in the whole way it can cause this.

I tried both sticks, together, and individually in every (8 total) slots, still not working. Thanks!

My thoughts are that even though your system is powering up, it's not posting bios. If you have a speaker in your case then you should hear a single beep when bios posts successfully. If no beep, something didn't power up properly. By following my initial recommendations, you should hear a beep with only memory, cpu, and power supply. If you don't you may need to flash/update your bios to support your CPU ( consistent with QR error code D0). If that setup gives you a beep, add hard drives and restart, again listening for the beep. When you get to a point that you add something and the computer fails to beep when restarted, you have found your culprit. It's possible you shorted out one of the components while handling. But in any case, This will help you track down the culprit.

Look at the sticker on the mobo. One of them (if theres more than one) has 4 numbers on the end of it.

This mobo needs BIOS 0801 to support that CPU. If it doesnt have 0801 on the sticker (this is the latest BIOS), update the BIOS using flashback
