New Build is not working

[ReallyJoker]

I am currently putting together a new computer. All the parts are listed here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ReallyJoker/saved/#view=kbNFTW X2 on the ram sets, giving me a total of 16 Gbs of Ram. I am running into one problem, the graphics card. I plug it into either pcie x16 slot and everything starts spinning and lighting up except the graphics card. I take it out all together and try and turn it on and the computer won't start in general I plugged in a known good GPU in and same effect and my GPU works in a known good computer. I have tried everything I can think of in terms of troubleshooting to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If a case speaker connected to the board, try starting it with no RAMs installed and see if any beeps.

Tried that, and each stick by itself in each slot, no onboard speaker :/ but nothing

CPU could be inserted wrong/bent pins.
Could have RAM not fully inserted into slot
Other addon card not fully inserted into slot
Tried a different cable from GPU to monitor?

Does the PC fully come on and stay on, or does it shut back off with GPU inserted?

It comes on and stays on. The fans dont spin at all, but when I put a different card in the same thing happens it lights up to show it has power.

Do you have the PCIE cables connect from PSU into GPU?

Also fans not turning on on a GPU is not per say cause of alarm, many do not spin up immediatly anymore until cooling needs to be applied.

Well they spin right up in a different computer and yes all connectors are in. and no output is sent

Can you try a different power supply in your computer?

Might be a dud power supply that cant output enough voltage to power GPU but can get fans/hard drives spinning.

You think 550w isnt enough or the psu itself is bad

No 550 is find for a 470, think the PSU is possibly defective.

At this point any of the parts could be deffective. PSU and RAM is much easier to get ahold of and test then say motherboard or CPU.
Are you possitive you ligned up the arrows and did not bend any pins inserting the CPU?

double checked the CPU all good. will see if I can find a PSU to try.

FYI if you removed the heat sink to check CPU then you MUST remove old paste and apply new.

The point of the paste is to provide a thin layer to fill in all the tiny holes on the surface to provide good heat transfer from CPU metal to heatsink metal.
Removing the heatsink completely disrupts this layer and causes a bunch of air pockets that will not allow good heat transfer.

You actually thought of the solution the first time, the lever on this motherboard has to click twice to be down all the way, I only had to have them click once, it was stopping the POST there. Thank you so much!
