I just built a pc and on first boot it is not displaying anything. I have made sure everything is connected and have visited several forums and had had no luck in solving the problem. 

My motherboard is an MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Any error codes on the motherboard?

No it just shows the number 40 and sometimes goes to 39. I can't find that code in the manual

Check your CPU pin is in above the CPU and it's plugged in. I amde this mistake at one point. Then if that's in, check every other cable. If it still doesnt then remove all RAM and check that you have it correctly inserted in the correct slots. Refer to your motherboard hand guide as each board is different and tells you to install it in different way. Quad channel is usually 1, 3, 5, 7 (I think)

There is no quad channel in a z97 board.

All pins are in and I've tried moving the ram cards around. Right now they're in DIMM 2 and 4 like the manual says

I've also tried removing one of the ram cards

Remove all ram and see if something else happens.
