Hi all,
I'm building my first computer and I'm pretty confused. I suspect my motherboard is dead, and I would like the help of some experts to confirm.
I got a ROG STRIX Z390-I and the qleds aren't lighting up when I'm trying to boot it. I've stripped it back down so that the only components are:
ROG STRIX Z390-I
PSU
CPU
RAM
Monitor connected through the Motherboard's display port
When I turn on the PSU, the multicolored LEDs on the side light up and fade between colors. However the q LEDs do not light up at all. The monitor remains in sleep mode. If I turn the monitor on it shows the predator logo and then goes to sleep. Pictures included:
1.) PSU headed towards CPU
2.) Another angle
3.) CPU power from PSU
4.) Motherboard power from PSU, also shows leds on the motherboard
5.) Q LEDs not lit up 😞
6.) Everything
7.) Display port from Motherboard to monitor
8.) Monitor starting up
9.) Monitor no signal

I've checked the connections. Forgot to take a picture of the display port going into the monitor.
I was hoping to boot into bios so I could see what was wrong. I stripped this back down to the small set of components to remove variables, but the reason I started was because when I booted, the GPU didn't spin or light up, and the CPU heat sink fan didn't spin either.
Can you help me determine if either:
A: I did something silly
B: My board is DoA and I need to get a return
Thanks in advance!
