Monitor, keyboard, mouse hooked up. Monitor is on.

 

Power on computer.

 

All of the fans turn on.

 

Lights turn on on the motherboard.

 

No beeps.

 

Nothing on the monitor.

I'm hoping it's just something silly like I forgot to plug in one of the wires in the case.

It might be the cable from the GPU to the monitor?

Or it might be the GPU? (try using iGPU if possible)

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. 
It matters that you don't just give up.”

Yep and yep. Looks like I didn't plug in CPU_OPT. ...looking for the cable for that. It's a tiny 4-pin connector.

Fans and lights in case turn on without CPU_OPT plugged in, but not when it is plugged in. It quickly tries to turn on but lights immediately blink out. I unplug CPU_OPT and it returns back to lights+fans turning on. I'm going through the entire mobo manual again, checking.
