Need Help, First Build, No Post, Beep Codes

[AttackofMax]

I have put together my computer and I believe that everything is hooked up right and things should be fine. I tried booting up just to see if everything would at least start because I do not have an OS yet and I get a series of beeps, one for turning it on then one long, four short, and then a pause with another short beep afterwards. I just want to get it to post and be ready for windows to install when I get 8.1

Three of my fans spin up but they are connected to a fan controller and my CPU cooler fans do not spin up.

My parts are on my profile but to save you the trip -

 

CPU - i7 4790K

Motherboard - Asus Z97-A

RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws 1866 16GB

GPU - Gigabyte G1 Geforce GTX 970

PSU- Cosair CXM 750W

Storage - 840 EVO 250GB + WD 1TB Blue

And an Asus disc drive

 

This is my first build and I'm just happy that I got to see the fans spin and light up blue and also hear something from the computer. Any help is much appreciated and if there's any other info you need or steps you think I need to take, please tell me.
Thank you for your time.

Redo all Connectors and re install them in slow pace, its most likely a forgotten cable or something

         the power LED is on

1.1    Make sure all cables are connected well

1.2    Please clear CMOS to have a try(refer to motherboard manual for details)

1.3    Keep the necessary components ( a CPU, a memory, a graphic card )on board to test

1.4    If there is still blank screen, please connect the connector of speaker to check if there is any beeps

1.4.1               If there is no beep, please contact your retailer for a check

1.4.2               If there is beep, please try to judge from the beep code as the following steps, if the problem still remains after the troubleshooting, please contact your retailer for a check.

The beep codes should be in the board's manual which you should have a copy of, and if you don't, it's available online.

I've been looking around and it seems to me that that beep code means a hardware failure. Try your system with only 1 stick of ram or try removing the gpu. Also check to make sure that your cpu fan header is plugged in properly. I don't know what else I can do to help you though.
