Someone lend a hand?

So I'm having a strange problem. Just picked up a new mobo and cpu. Got home, set it all up, Booted fine, didn't recognize the ethernet onboard so I went and grabbed the adapter I used on my old mobo, now nothing. Turn on, no usb power, no output, mobo speaker's not telling me anything, but everything appears to be on. Drives are spinning, fans and lights are running, only thing that seems off internally is my GPU (GTX 970) which kinda makes me think PSU failure? I don't have an extra one to test unfortunately, but I really can't think of what the issue would be.

If you have onboard intel graphics take the 970 out and try using them to see if anything gets displayed to the screen.

No such luck. No onboard graphics, and I tested with an older GPU and still got nothing.

Reseat all power connectors and reseat the ram?

Did the video cable become loose at the monitor while moving the case around?

Clear the CMOS and try again for a boot?

Somehow it was the mobo. Tested a different one with the same CPU and couldnt post. I'll call tomorrow as I feel like plugging in a pci adaptor is a strange thing to brick a mobo

Clear the CMOS before you do anything else.

down load the latest drivers

why didn't you install the drivers off the disc that came with the new motherboard? Who knows what happened now. Pull your add in cards. Reset cmos and see if it will boot.

You can't really "brick" a mobo, but you could short it out. If you tried to install something with the power still connected, especially if something isn't grounded properly this could be the cause. Sometimes it actually fixes itself. Unplug everything and disconnect your power supply from the mobo. Let it sit for 30 mins or so, and like others said clear the CMOS and try again.
