Gigabyte Z370P D3 (r. 1.0) Motherboard
i5-8400 CPU
8g x2 T-Force Dark DDR4 RAM
Asus GTX 760
Cryorig H7 Cooler
CX600 PSU
K so I plugged everything in and it isn't posting. Installing the CPU/RAM/Cooler/mobo/video card all went smoothly, I was careful not to touch anything I didn't have to, touched metal before doing anything sensitive, etc.
I installed all the case headers I could find: power/LED, power switch, HDD LED, audio, USB. I plugged the cooler into the CPU fan. I plugged the PSU into the video card.
I plugged in 1 SATA drive, the C drive from my previous rig. I know the drive's working because I just pulled it out of an external USB enclosure. It's got W7 on it, but even if I need to reinstall Windows or the HDD was bad, I should still get the board BIOS to post, show me something other than "no signal" from the monitor(s).
The power switch is working, the power supply is working, the CPU cooler fan runs, the light on the video card is green, etc.
The board seems to be powering up fine, there's orange light from an LED, but I think it's cosmetic or otherwise not an error light.
Only thing I can think of is the RAM isn't compatible (but shouldn't that give a beep message from the mobo? I do have it right that the mobo has its own little speaker and I would hear any error messages, right?) or something is DOA. I've got 3 monitors, 1 I just pulled out of the packaging (and the other 2 are working fine with my other PC). I've plugged the 2 with DVI sockets into the DVI socket in the the card, and I've plugged the 2 with HDMI sockets into both the mobo and the card, too. Nada.

I ran through that checklist and I'd already done all of that except resetting CMOS (haven't tried it yet) and the part about plugging each RAM stick in alone, in each socket (tried it, didn't work).
I re-read the checklist to be sure, and I'm clean on 1-16. I'm not getting any sound at all, even when I pulled the RAM and HDD and the power to the video card and turned on the power. I'm pretty sure it isn't the case; IIRC, the case speaker is working fine. I don't know if the mobo has an integral speaker.
Clean on 19-20, haven't tried 21, resetting CMOS. Seems like a hail mary but I'll try it if there are no better ideas.
Clean on 22-23, too.
