Hi all,

I'm in the process of assembling a rig with the following components:

MOBO: ASRock H110 Pro BTC+
RAM: Kingston KVR21R15S8/4G RAM
PSU: Corsair RM1000x
CPU: Intel Pentium G4400 3.3 Ghz
GPU: Sapphire RX580 PULSE 8GB (5x)
SSD: Kingston SSDNow A400 120GB

Installed CPU, RAM, 1 GPU via the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (via powered riser), connected CPU fan, CPU power (8 pin 12V), 24 pin ATX power connector, keyboard, mouse.

The MOBO is places on standoff screws on a wooden shelf.

On 1st power up, the fans start spinning (CPU and GPU), but there's no video signal. No indication the system is actually booting (no lights on keyboard - e.g. numlock)

Even when stripping the system of keyboard, mouse, SSD, GPU (just using the integrated graphics via the VDI port), clearing BIOS, moving RAM to other slot - there is no indication of booting, no POST, nothing. Just the fans spinning.

Tried re-inserting RAM (until I hear a click, pretty sure it is inserted correctly), taking out CPU to check connectors (looks fine to me).

There are some spare components on the way (RAM, CPU and even a different MOBO), but does any one have some suggestion on how to pin this down? I also have a chassis speaker on the way, so that could help me narrow it down to RAM, CPU or MOBO.

But have I overlooked something? Any other things I could try? Also, how sensitive are the components to static electricity? I don't have an anti static wrist wrap, but touch the tap (which should be okay right?) regularly when handling the MOBO and other components.

Your isolations are pointing out to 3, RAM CPU and MOBO, and I'm afraid what I will suggest is to try the spare ones you have. but I did assembling my rigs without anti static wrist and luckily don't have any problem with it, I've read somewhere that its safe by just touching the bare metal of the case before doing assembles.
