Hi guys,
new poster

specs;
MSI Z1170A
intel i-5 6600K
Asus GTX 980
Corsair DDR4 ram
Corsair cx750m PSU

I recently bought a new case for my PC. I removed all parts from the old case, and inserted them into the new case.

When I power on [either from motherboard or from front-end power button] it launches, but no video feed to monitor from either GPU HDMI / DVR or Mobo HDMI / DVR

I've tested without GPU / one RAM stick / all peripherals disconnected
no beeps from motherboard indicating what could be at fault
no out-of-the-ordinary led lights pointing to what could be at fault
no burning smell / grinding noise

The only constant between all the tests ive done is that the mobo will always display a debug code '00', but nothing in the MSI handbook points to said code.

at a complete loss and i would appreciate some help
