Howdy friends,
Just made some upgrades to my PC today and I'm having some trouble getting things to fire up.
Old Build (worked):
CPU - Intel Core i7-950 3.06Ghz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth X58 ATX LGA1366
Memory - OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3-1600
Storage - Crucial MX100 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage - Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 480 1.5GB
Case Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower
Power Supply - Corsair Professional 850W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX
New Build (not powering on):
CPU - Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 DDR3 ATX LGA1151
Storage - Crucial MX100 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage - Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Memory - Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR4-2400 2x8GB
Video Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC Gaming ACX 3.0
Case - Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower
Power Supply - Corsair Professional 850W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX
So here's what is going on. I've plugged everything in, both motherboard cables, the CPU is in and heat sink is in place, tried to power it up, and I get nothing. Here are some things I've tried:
I've checked the new MoBos battery for a piece of plastic underneath it.
I've ensured both MoBo cables are securely fastened.
I've tried firing it up w/ and w/o GPU in.
I've tried firing it up w/ and w/o RAM in.
I've tried firing it up w/ and w/o any of the case fans plugged in.
I've tried both directions w/ the power switch cable.
I went back and checked to see if I bricked my PSU. There's a light on my old MoBo that glows green when it has power, and sure enough it glowed when I had it plugged in.
Any advice would be very helpful. I can provide pictures as needed.

Is this accurate? If so, you got the wrong RAM for your board.
