New build, everything powers on but no signal on monitor

[dkan]

Hi guys, so recently did my first build and here are the specs:

Gigabyte GA-Z270N-Gaming 5
2 x 8gb corsair ram
i5 7600k
600w psu
120 coolermaster liquid pro
EVGA 1060 6gb

Here's the problem, everything is connected and it boots up. Fans and lights are on but no signal comes from the graphics card or from the in built motherboard port. I've taken out the graphics card and tried just the motherboard but still nothing.

I don't have a motherboard speaker either so I don't know if there's a beep or not, I've ordered one but it's arriving in 2 weeks. Any suggestions in the mean time because I don't want to wait that long. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Try leaving single RAM installed and testing each slot. Check if both 24 and 8 pin power cables are properly connected.

Ok so it seems to work with the far right slot with just one RAM installed, what should I do with the other RAM? And what does this mean?

It might be a bent pin in the CPU socket. Try removing the CPU and posting here a picture of the socket.

Did you install the standoffs in the case, before you installed the motherboard?

Case came with installed standoffs already

Computer boots and I get signal to my monitor when booting with one stick of ram and no GPU. So I installed the latest BIOS and all the drivers for the motherboard and the new drivers for the 1060. Plugged in my 1060 and rebooted, but no signal to monitor. Tried both HDMI slots and nothing

There are several bent pins, as far as I can see.
Try straightening them (a magnifying glass would help), or RMA the board.

Thanks for the help, the pins seem to be bent under each other and look way too hard to try and straighten them. Currently on gigabyte's website and going to try to RMA. Again thanks for the help!
