[PCPartPicker part list](http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ltsbhq)
**CPU** | [Intel Core i5-6600 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor]
**Motherboard** | [MSI B150M MORTAR Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard]
**Memory** | [G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory]
**Storage** | [Samsung 850 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive]
**Video Card** | [EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB SC GAMING Video Card]
**Case** | [NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case]
**Power Supply** | [EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply]
The red CPU light on the "EZ-Debug" panel on the mobo lights up once for 0.1s then goes away - nothing happens. The back fan (stock) does the same thing.
First off, I've done a bit of research and tried troubleshooting on my own to no avail (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems).
I've checked the power connection (8-pin) to for CPU as it is clearly marked on the mobo. I've also checked all other connections to the mobo and they all seem stable.
The only connection on the mobo that I'm not 100% about is the front panel connections, but I've tried only plugging in only the two power button pins and booting. Got the exact same issue.
I can't really think of anything else I might have done wrong. When I was installing the CPU, I did take the plastic bit off after placing the CPU and before closing the hatch (instead of letting it pop off by itself), but from what I've researched, it doesn't sound like that's a huge issue.
This is my first build so I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do. Any help would be appreciated - thanks!
