Hello, all!
I'm new to this forum and building computers in general but I've become more interested in building lately and have successfully built a couple desktops recently. I'm having a problem with the current one, though and I would appreciate any insight you guys might be able to offer!
Here are the system specs:
(If there are any other pertinent specs I forgot, please let me know.)
¤ So the problem that I'm having is that I have no signal on screen when turning the PC on. No BIOS screen, No BSOD, no image at all. The GPU power LED lights up, the case power LED lights up, and both the case and processor fans are active but I have no video signal. One SSD has the previous machine that it was installed in's operating system and data on it (I planned to format when installing windows again) and the second SSD holds game data only.
What I've tried so far:
So, I'm not really sure whether I have a no signal issue from the GPU( although the Radeon GPU is a tested working GPU as it worked in my old system and the nvidia card, also known working provides the same result) or if have a Non-POST issue with the motherboard. Since I just installed a new GA-970A-DS3P it seems unlikely to me that the motherboard is at fault.
I'm fresh out of ideas though! Sorry to burden you guys as I'm just a noob starting out but any ideas you can provide would be appreciated! Thanks!

Here are the system specs:
- Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P motherboard
- AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
- Kingston 100 GB SSD
- Samsung 120 GB SSD
- XFX Radeon RX 580 8GB GPU
- Sama S35-BK Mid-tower Case
- AMD B0044FHFJQ CPU Cooler
- Seasonic S12III 650W PSU
- 16GB Micron DDR3 1866mhz (4GBx4) RAM

What I've tried so far:
- This is the second Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P I've attempted to install in this case. The first one I bought used off of ebay and received the same result I've described so I assumed (after trying the things I'll list next) that the motherboard was faulty. There is a new GA-970A-DS3P installed in the system now with the same non-signal result.
- I've tried disconnecting all case connectors (USB 3.0, USB, power button, reset, etc.) and jumping the power to the board and I receive the same result. No signal, but board and accessories power on.
- I've tried installing another known good GPU (Nvidia GT730) to see if I can receive a signal, with the same non-signal result.
- I've tried installing another known good AMD AM3 processor to see if the processor may have been the issue but receive the same result.
- I've tried disconnecting all SSD's and SATA devices with the same result.
- I've tried using the DVI port on the back of the Nvidia GPU to get a signal with the same result.
- I've tried using different connectors from the PSU to power those same parts on the board to no avail also.
- I've tried jumping the CMOS reset on the previous board to no avail also and replacing the CMOS battery. There is currently no jumper on the CMOS reset pins.
