I have built 3 computers in the last week and the last one is having issues.
2 of the computers have identical parts except for the cases.
The other computer was my son's who had some parts the same and some a little different than the ones we had
1st computer (my husbands) built absolutely no issues running beautifully. Parts are:
Case: DeepCool Matrexx 55 Mesh RGB 4f
Mobo: Aus Tuf Gaming Z490 plus (with wifi)
GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB DUAL EVO OC Video Card
CPU: Intel Core i7 10700k 38ghz 10th Gen
Liquid Cooler: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid RGB ML240L
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Storage1: Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Storage2: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
PSU: Corsair RM (2019) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
OS: Windows 10 Home
(note now running Corsair Vengeance RGB Rams as they didn't fit in the 2nd computer case with the liquid cooler)
2nd computer (my sons) built running beautifully. Parts are
Case: Corsair SPEC-OMEGA RGB
Mobo: Asus ROG STRIX Z490-E GAMING ATX LGA1200
GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB DUAL EVO OC Video Card
Liquid Cooler: Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Storage1: Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
PSU: Corsair RM (2019) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
OS: Windows 10 Home
So come to the third computer (my computer), it's exactly the same as my husband's originally (with the plain rams) except it s in a Gamdias Athena M1 case
After I powered it up for the first time with no peripherals connected the motherboard beeped one long beep and 3 short beeps meaning no vga detected, the white light on the q-led's stays lit up as does the boot (green one).
Steps I have taken to narrow down the motherboard as the problem.
I have taken 3 videos you can see them here

Am I right to think the motherboard is faulty?
Thank you for any help/advice.

Steps I have taken to narrow down the motherboard as the problem.
- I have tried putting the gpu into the 2nd pci slot, same issue. SO I was thinking ok it's the gpu.
- Took the gpu out of mine and put it into my husbands (with the same parts) – no issues. OK so not the gpu.
- Took the gpu out of my husbands computer and put it into my computer (one having issues) – vga not detected.
- Tried the 2nd pci slot with my husbands gpu – same issue. So now I'm thinking it's the power supply.
- Took the gpu out and unplugged the cord to the psu for it – same issue.
- Took the psu out of my husband's computer and used on my computer, plugged the gpu all back in – same issue. So it's not the power supply.
- Hooked up a monitor to use the onboard graphics instead to try to see what's happening, nothing. Same issue.
- Took the battery out put the battery back in – same issue.
- Took the cpu out and put it back in – same issue.
- Took the Rams out and reseated them - same issue.
- Removed every plug and rechecked it as I plugged it all back in – same issue.
- Removed motherboard from case (to isolate any case issue), connected everything up (rechecking cords as I went). Connected gpu - same issue.
- With motherboard still removed from case took off gpu and tried to use onboard graphics, nothing - same issue.
