Pull everything out of the case, set the board on something non conductive. Only CPU,memory (1 stick only) and a videocard need to be installed. Hook up power (24 and 8 pin), the 6 pin connectors to the video card, and short the power pins for a sec and see if it boots.
You know why I post that when people have problems with new builds. I had a loose screw laying laying between the board and the chassis on one build that had the same symptoms. The simple stuff bites us all at some point.
I am a retired Ford tech. Next to Fords, any computer is a piece of cake. (The cake, its not a lie)
