This is my first build in about 10 years so I was pretty excited but at the same time things have changed a bit so I took my time.
Assembled everything in order as suggested in the ASRock x99e-itx/ac manual ... I plug in the display and power up... On first boot the fans seemed to stutter a bit (turning on and off maybe like 2 second intervals) then they seemed to stabilize and ... No beeps and no display. (LED's on case working same with all fans)
All the fans seem to be going (CPU, GPU, Both case fans) and it sounds like a computer should when its running... only nothing happens. This happens every time now, no stuttering though anymore though. I tried taking it apart and putting it back together many times to no avail. Reset the CMOS using the button and using the jumpers... nothing.
Please tell me its something silly / easy like RAM incompatibility or something... Confused Is it weird that I get no post beeps at all?
Set up: (all from newegg)
mobo: ASRock x99e-itx/ac CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W BX80648I75820K GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 950 02G-P4-2956-KR 2GB SC+ RAM: G.SKILL Aegis 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform PSU: CORSAIR CX series CX750M 750W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified HD: SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 512GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V5P512BW Case: Fractal Design Define Nano S Window Panel Mini-ITX Silent Computer Case
Like I said though, I can't get into bios or anything like that so it's got to be something wrong with the set up. I have checked all the power connections many times and I don't think that's the issue.
The problem is I don't have any other RAM, CPUs or GPUs laying around to try anything else in the machine.
I noticed my RAM isn't listed here:

Would getting some new DDR4 RAM which is listed above solve my issue??? (Non ECC since the i7-5280k is my CPU)
I just don't want to waste more $$ if that isn't the issue.
