I just got a new case and wanted to migrate everything over and it didn't boot. I took the motherboard out with the ram cpu and gpu all connected, and put it on a cardboard box to troubleshoot. When "powered on" the motherboard will light up with its red strip it has built in but the gpu nor the cpu fan will spin up. If I use a power supply tester the gpu fans will spin up but still won't display, as for the cpu cooling fan that won't spin up at all

Also the cpu is not receiving power, I can tell because I took the heatsink off and plugged the cpu and 20 pin connector in and touched it with my finger (also tried same thing with power supply tester)

Funnily enough we just had this problem at work. Its probably your ram. Try 1 stick. If that doesnt work try the other. (assuming you have 2 sticks)

Damn, check your sockets and what not like others suggested. Check your PSU, does it spin? I think you may have shorted something. :/

I know that it spins when the psu tester is plugged into it(gpu fans also spin when tester is plugged in) and when the 20 pin is in the mobo the integrated red light will illuminate

Last attempt is trying onboard graphics if it has that. If not, it does sound like a motherboard problem. 

I tried that already, the cpu doesn't even heat up at all

Also when the fan for the heatsink was on it wasn't spinning either
