[SOLVED] New build will not POST. Will not display on screen

[aperea13]

Hello all. First time builder here. These are my specs: CPU: Intel i7 3.2 GHz 6-Core Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 Evo Motherboard: Asus - TUF Z390-plus Gaming (Wi-Fi) ATX GPU: MSI - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB RAM: G.Skill - Fortis 16 GB (2 * 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Storage: Samsung Evo 1 TV M.2-2280 SSD PSU: Corsair RM 650x Case: Thermaltake - V200 Tempered Glass RGB Ed. Mid tower

So, my issue is, I cannot for the life of me get the PC to POST or get any onscreen information. I have rebuilt it 3 times trying to see if I made some foolish greenhorn mistake and I have still come up with nothing. All of my fans (4 case, 1 cpu cooler, and 2 gpu) all spin, though I know this is indicative of nothing, I feel it should be known All LED lights in case work, again indicative of nothing

I have: *Reseated all power supply cords to make sure of a clean connection *Reseated RAM cards (and tried each one individually in all 4 slots) *Reseated GPU *Reseated CPU and CPU Cooler, checked for bent pins *"Breadboarded" motherboard with all necessary components connected to see if motherboard was grounding out somehow

Aftermarket troubleshooting methods: *Purchased a PSU Tester All readings seem to be within requirements? (can attach photo if necessary) -12V: 12.1 +12V2: 12.0 5VSB: 4.9 +5V: 4.9 +12V1: 11.9 +3.3V: 3.2 PG: 290ms

*Purchased an aftermarket motherboard speaker Which for some reason makes no beeps upon startup, which I believe may be concerning?

After countless threads and blogs, I was under the assumption that 1. RAM is bad or incompatible (it says on package that it is "Compatible with Ryzen" which I know is not what I have but I further read that there should be no issue. 2. The Motherboard either arrived dead or I possibly fried it during the build

I am hoping one of you beautiful souls can help me figure out what is wrong and/or help me decipher what my next course of action should be. Thank you kindly in advance.

I'm sure you've probably already covered it - but check this first http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems

Have you tried bread boarding your PC?

Thanks for your response! But yes, I've gone through that list about 5 times haha. I've breadboarded as well. I'm wondering what the odds are that the ram isn't working properly?
I'm concerned that the mobo speaker I installed gives no audible beep. I know it's possible, but what are the chances I fried the board? I read in a few places that some mobos don't have a BIOS beep enabled by default but I don't know what else to try... I'm pulling my hair out here!

Sorry for the delayed response sir!

Well if you've breadboarded and still having no luck. You've probably got a hardware problem. Presumably you've updated the BIOS to latest version before all of this, and that any BIOS settings will be at default, some out of kilter RAM timings in a BIOS can cause boot loops.

After that, start easy components first, try different RAM, see what luck you have. Luckily you may just RMA the board under warranty.
