I think my power supply just killed my computer?

Specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Cpmaker/saved/4nQTwP 

 

I have the i7, cooler, and 1 stick of ram installed on the board with the necessary cords plugged in. The board turns on as the leds turn on and the cpu fan starts up however nothing actually posts. 

Most motherboards these days have some sort of beep codes, posting codes etc...  Are you getting any of this? Did you re-seat your video card? Is your MB seated properly? If you're moving too fast you might be causing more problems for yourself. Slow DOWN...  and try re-seating everything. Including the CPU. Remove slowly, make sure everything is removed, check under the motherboard for cords/objects and make sure it's screwed down properly to the tray the board belongs on, with the proper amount of screws etc. Once you see it's seated/centered properly check for ANY damages on the board itself. THEN Plug in the CPU, THEN your cooler. Use the onboard video if it has any first, you can still post a system to get the "beep" of it booting successfully. As long as that first beep happens and you don't get any more post/beep codes (Sometimes like on mine there is a small LED letter/number read out) which tells me more. If you don't have onboard video then try carefully making sure the seating of your video card is centered and evenly pushed into the top/nearest to CPU... PCI-E slot. Plug in any power cables on the video card. If you don't have these you may not get a post.

Also just plug in your main HDD for now. Skip the storage drives. You don't run Raid correct?

The motherboard does not beep when I start it up. I do not have my graphics card plugged in currently and the motherboard is sitting on its box and not in the case, everything has been reseated. I have tried booting with the graphics card installed thinking the onboard hdmi port went bad however it still would not post.

I do not run raid and the ssd was plugged in when I tried booting.

You are using the "Q Connector" correct? Does it have a speaker attached?

If the speaker is plugged in and the beeps don't happen I would say it's possible you have other issues. 

 

Do you have other ram sticks possibly? (Make sure there is only 1 plugged into A1 ram slot)

I did not use the Q connector as it worked fine without it. The speaker was attached when I was doing testing.

I have other ram sticks and have tried them though the issue persists.

So you get it to turn on and does it beep?

It does not.

Assuming from what I read yesterday you DO have a CPU cooler installed?

Yes I do indeed have a cpu cooler installed after finding out about that yesterday.

Try a "mem ok" button on the board. It might have old bios settings, reset the CMOS again try pulling the battery out. I heard from an ASUS rep when my board wouldn't boot to pull the battery out of it, hold the reset for 30 seconds then let it sit 30 MINUTES. Then hold the reset button WHILE inserting the battery back into the board after the 30 minutes. Now  you don't have to do this... but it helped me when my Maximus VII Hero wouldn't boot right. Brought it back to life...

Alright I will try it later.
