I need help!

I recently built my pc and everything was running fine. It was running a non genuine version of windows 7 because I haven't bought an activation code yet. Once windows 10 was released I decided to go ahead and purchase that instead. As I was upgrading through a flash drive since I don't have an optical drive I accidentally deleted one partition that I believe said system recovery and it was around 100mb and then formatted the primary drive in order to install windows 10. Once I clicked on Next it started the installation process and came to the part where it says the system needs to restart, well it restarted and then never came back on. So now every time I try to switch it on all the lights and fans turn on for about 15-20 seconds and then shuts off. In that 15-20 seconds I do not get any display on the screen. All I get on the screen is the no source detected warning.

 

SPECS:

CPU: i7 5820k

Motherboard: Asrock x99e-ITX/ac

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Elite 16gb ddr4-2666

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 250gb

Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce gtx 980 G1 Gaming

Power Supply: Corsair HX850i

you need to restart the whole install process.

just run the USB boot again, and start over, clear all partitions and allow win10 to make it's own from a blank drive. 

 

can you not even get to the BIOS?

reset the CMOS. then start over.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I removed the SSD and cleared the cmos. Now when I switch on the PSU from the back, the video card light starts to blink, the fans turn on only on the video card and it makes a weird clicking sound. I can't even turn on the PC it's not responding to the power button on top of the case.
