[HELP] VII Hero 'Start' and 'Reset' LEDs won't turn on, Red accent LEDs and ROG light

Nrmstrm

Hey guys,

Just built this comp a day ago, and when my PSU powers the motherboard, the Start and Reset buttons don't light, and the Q-Code
LEDs do not light up as well, so I'm not sure how to diagnose the problem.

There are no beeps, BUT some LEDs do turn on (shows my PSU isn't screwed up or anything). The red accents at the bottom
(the red streaks that give the board some aesthetics) of the board blink, and the ROG logo blinks as well.

When powered, my CPU fan and GPU do not turn on.

Was able to get on the BIOS yesterday, but after I turned it on, it won't even POST, the LEDs just blink!

Any help is appreciated!

To troubleshoot I have done the following:
Took out the CPU, inspected for bent pins
Took out RAM, Then took one of the sticks, tried all slots
Remount PSU cords
Took out/remount 980ti
Took out CMOS battery overnight, remounted

System Specs:

Intel i7 4790k
G.Skill Ripjaws 16 Gigs (8x2) F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL
Nvidia Geforce GTX 980ti
Corsair AX760 PSU
Corsair H100i Cooling

Note: I have not installed Windows 8.1 or any other OS

Welcome to the forum!

If you're sure there are no bent pins, the only common components are the PSU and mobo.

Do you have another PSU that you can test with your Hero VII?

ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E
Corsair H115i Pro XT
G.Skill TridentZ@ 3600MHz CL14 2x16GB
