Refer to your Speaker Beep Codes. That should usually tell you what's wrong. Most common reasons would be you didn't push in the ram stick all the way, or something. Finding out if it's a problem is your GPU seems to be hard, just because the Athlon x4 950 doesn't seem to have Integrated Graphics (to my knowledge).

Maybe it's your monitor. Some monitors don't change it's display automatically, so switch to the display option you're using, ie. HDMI, DP, etc. In rare cases, the monitor won't display images lower than a certain resolution, and since you most likely don't have an OS installed, the BIOS being a low resolution won't display onto the screen. Try plugging it into a TV (with the correct display option of course) and see if that works.

The probability that you probably shorted out your mobo is either small, or high, depending on your environment. Even if you don't feel a static, it could still damage your mobo. Just check the beep codes, and figure it out.

If there is a switch on the power supply flip it and press the power button.
