It won't turn on.

I turn it on, all r fans, and the hard drive spin, but nothing happens on screen.

Tried multiple displays and connections, multiple pcie slots.

Ideas?

Remove the RAM stick one by one and see if it posts with some of them, if not at all, then reinstall the RAM sticks and take out the GPU, if it still doesn't post remove the ram sticks again 1 by 1, but i'd firstly see if it posts with Integrated graphics.

Buy a 710 GT or something off Amazon for cheap.  $30 s a good investment for a "test" gpu.

 

Any mobo debug codes?

You didn't happen to forget to plug in a connector on either the CPU power or the card?

 

What's the full specs of the machine?

Did this happen all of a sudden? Was this a result of the case being opened and a PM performed?

Strange, I doubt it's ESD, I mean I just entirely rebuilt my computer on the carpeted floor the other night and I was okay not to mention I have always built on carpet without an issue.

Try finding another cheap video car to rule that out and such.
