@Jelly_ Is it a new build? I'm guessing yes.

 

Reduce it to as few components as possible, to try and isolate the problem. e.g. run the monitor from the mobo and take the graphics card out, remove the ram and try and boot it with just one stick.

 

For a potential quick fix check the RAM's seated correctly. It could be the problem and could save you stripping everything out of it.

 

Keep us updated

When I had this issue, it was due to a loose connection from the power supply to the motherboard, have you checked that cable has been inserted correctly? (this is most likely the issue if you literally just built it)

So it's working now?
