and also i have a 750w Supernova G2 PSU.

Plugged in a 3.0 USB into my R5 Define Case and then the LED lights on my keyboard died out and mouse/keyboard keys stopped working. I restarted my computer and now it doesn't display anything, everything turns on fine, but it doesn't post, it's just a black screen.

I breadboarded my PC and did all the troubleshoots like using one stick at a time, only having the CPU, CPU cooler plugged in, the PSU plugged in, GPU and it still doesn't display anything. I swapped out my GPU to my previous GPU and it still displays a black screen. Could it be the motherboard that is faulty?
