Pulled out the CMOS Battery and nothing. It's not powering at all. Standby light is sitting on.

Removed the CMOS battery just now and letting it clear itself entirely. I'll put it back in about 15 to 30 minutes.

This is my second motherboard I received from Newegg and I spent the weekend trying to resolve this issue on my own. Here are the specs of my new build: PSU: EVGA 600W 80+ B GPU: ASUS Strix GTX 1070 CPU: Ryzen 2700x Cooler: Corsair H100i RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM Case: Corsair Backstory of the first motherboard, everything booted on the system, but an orange light appeared in the top-right corner. Identified as a RAM issue and the first set of RAM (Teamforce) wasn't compatible. So, it was sent back to the retailer for the Corsair Vengeance. When received again, it still received the orange light error. A friend at my university's IT department tested the ram sticks and verified they were working, so I sent the motherboard back. Newegg confirmed it was defective and sent me a new motherboard after two weeks. Evidence is shown below of the first motherboard working, but refused to POST at all. Unfortunately, I've been extremely busy with seminar research that it's at the edge of the return window. This motherboard was built over the weekend and after constructing everything as the manual said to do, I pressed the power switch and it wouldn't power at all. I double checked and made sure all of the components and wires were in, but the motherboard still wouldn't respond. Standby lights and the ASUS motherboard light up, but the LEDs on the cooler and front part of the case wouldn't come on at all. These are the methods I've done so far: Removed the motherboard and checked to see if anything was grounding the motherboard to the case inappropriately. (Nothing.) Blew out the case with compressed air to prevent dust from interacting with specific pins. Made sure all of the components (GPU and everything) was placed into the case before powering on. (Only reason why it's not displayed below is because I'm using it in my old system for seminar research.) Double-checked the wiring near the power and reset switch to see if it wasn't pulled from the socket during wire management. I don't like going around my techy savvy friends, but I'm at the end of my ropes, it's spring break, and I wasted a good few days trying to diagnose this matter. I just don't want to wait a few more weeks on a new motherboard because of it. If anyone is wondering about the new setup, here you go:
