My PC Wont Startup

[MitchillJBourke]

i built my first PC and i got told it wouldent damage the components to just turn on the computer without a graphics card i wanted to just see it turn on for the first time and to check the fans when i did turn it on there was one short single beep then it turned itself off i do not have a monitor or a graphics card yet

I searched too see beep errors and one directed me to the ram but it did the same even with just 1 ram card would it just be because im missing those 2 components ?

my mobo is a MSI Z87 GD65

The board has graphics (through CPU), therefore the single beep (all tests passed). If connecting the monitor to the board VGA/DVI/HDMI, you should get image.

i am not too sure cause i tried connecting the monitor and even then it just still turns off just as soon as i turn it on as soon as i press the power button it has that short beep sound then power cuts

Try testing the board out of the case, for ruling out a short.

would it hurt the components by testing it turning it off and on

since it was the first time turning the pc on and all i tried unplugging hd optical drive and the ssd and see if it would start up and it still does the same it just turns on for 1-2 seconds and shuts itself off i looked at the panel connectors if they were corrected i looked and followed the diagram multiple times checked the main power cable i checked if the cpu fan was mounted correctly and that the cpu was placed correctly. I checked if it was the power outlet tried multiple outlets i took at look at the mobo standoffs if it was toucheing the case at all which it was not i took a look at the ram if it was in correctly i changed the ram in other slots to see if it would make any difference and it did nothing i have no clue what to do anymore
