Problem description: Built a new system back in November, went to turn it on today, the power light turned on, the light on my GPU turned on, but the fans did not start spinning and nothing came on screen. After holding down the power button to turn off and troubleshoot, the light / assumedly power came back on after a few seconds. Attempted fixes: Removed (in order) Wireless card, old HDD (still has SSD in system), GPU. Changed RAM channels. Checked power connections to Mobo. Re-attempted after each step. Recent changes: None -- Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04 on removed HDD, Windows 7 and Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 on SSD System specs: i3-6100 Asrock Z170M Pro4s Team Dark 16gb DDR4 3000 ram Corsair RM550 ASUS RX 470 Strix OC WD Green 2tb HD Samsung 250gb 850 evo some TPlink wireless adapter carried over from my old build Location: USA I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Disconnect the SSD and try one stick of RAM and see if you can get into BIOS.

Nope, not with either stick in any of the slots. The CPU fan does spin around upon power off.

I moved the SSD, GPU and PSU into my old build, the fans spun but I got a blank screen. Put the old PSU back in and it booted fine. Unfortunately I can't test to see if the GPU is alright as the old PSU doesn't have the connections. I moved the old PSU to the new build but got no results.

The new build isn't working with onboard video so the GPU is probably okay. Trying another new PSU at this point is the simplest option. You could also try taking the motherboard out of the case and putting it on a nonconductive surface. Then using a key/paperclip to bridge the powerpins on the motherboard to turn it on (that would eliminate some electrical/case power button issues).
