Thanks, everything is working now. I don't now what was wrong, but I took everything apart and started over building everything back up again and everything works now.

Welcome to the forums.
For a start, recheck everything is connected correctly. 1. Be sure you have the CPU oriented correctly in the socket and that the retaining latch is properly secured. 2. Make sure your RAM is firmly seated in slots A2 and B2 2. Make sure your CPU power connector is attached (the 8 pin one at the top right of the board near the IO panel) 3. Make sure that you do not have an 8 pin PCIe power connector hooked up to the CPU power connection (the connectors look similar). Let us know how it goes.

I just built a PC with the ASRock Z170M Extreme 4 and Intel i5 6600k. I've got everything installed into a new case with a new power supply, new cpu cooler, new RAM and my existing samsung 840 SSD drive. Have checked that everything is connected correctly numerous times.
I push the power button and the case lights come on, the case and CPU cooler fans start spinning and....nothing. There is no beep or anything from the motherboard to tell me it is starting up and the monitor doesn't come to life (even when i have it manually search all the inputs). There don't appear to be any lights on the motherboard itself to tell me anything. I tried both the built in video (via DVI port) and also my old video card (via DVI) and neither makes any difference. Any ideas how I troubleshoot where the problem is? Could the motherboard be DOA or the CPU? How can I tell? Any help would be appreciated.
