I bought a bunch of components recently including an i5 bundle with 8gb ram, motherboard and cooler. When I installed all this last night and powered it up I got absolutely nothing on screen. I moved the graphics card to a different pcie slot and even tried the old card from my previous build and nothing at all on screen.

I threw all the old components back in including the old card which works fine. I am guessing the Mobo is the most likely culprit or could it be the processor?
 
The board is an MSI Z87 G45. I didn't try the onboard graphics I will try when I get home tonight. All fans span including the G. Card and processor fan.
 
I bought a new Corsair 760I PSU as I know the old old wouldn't cope. The bundle is overclocked so it worked before it reached me sadly.
 
No beeping from this case. The case is old and I ripped out the speaker when I got it as I had some fancy diagnostic LEDs on the back. The LEDs came out on the last build and I can't find them anymore.

I will pull this machine apart and rebuild it again and do some more testing.
 
I just received my new board and I can see that one pin seems to be sticking up higher than all the rest and doesn't look like it is in the same alignment as the others. Will I damage the processor even trying to fire it up? I have already sent an RMA request in thouh. I am not having much luck so far.
