I recently put together my first computer, but when I tried to turn it on the Ez-Debug led turned on solid white next to CPU. The CPU, GPU and case fans are all working, as are some leds. I looked around some forums and most people say check the CPU power cable, so I reset that and that didn't work. I tried checking my motherboard manual to see what exactly a 'solid white' LED meant next to CPU, but from what I saw it doesn't tell me the meaning of the colors.
The monitor doesn't detect anything so I can't see BIOS if it's up.
I have a MSI Z270-A pro (Manual Download) motherboard and I'm using the Intel I-5 7600k CPU and a COrsair CX-M 550w PSU
I knew I'd have problems setting up my first PC but this is disheartening, so any suggestions would be very much appreciated. ^_^

Aside from power there are 3 crucial components - CPU, RAM, Graphics.
Start with the basics:
- If you have onboard graphics available (you do), use it by removing discreet graphics.
- If you can, use only 1 sick of RAM in 'slot 1' (
DIMMA2in your case) - Remove all other components.
Ensure that your CPU is oriented correctly, and fully 'locked in' - the lever needs to hook under.
Ensure that the RAM is oriented correctly and fully 'locked in' - do not flip the catches up, but rather press on the RAM so that the catches flip up as a side effect.
Hopefully this will get you to POST, then start adding components.
