Custom PC won't POST

I just got all the parts for my 1st PC build a few weeks back and It won't POST. Reseeted every connection, used 1 stick of RAM, used 2 Sticks of RAM, used internal graphics, and even got a new motherboard but nothing shows up on the screen and my keyboard won't light up.

Specs:

CPU: AMD A8 9600

GPU: Nvidia GT 1030

Motherboard: 1st one: Biostar A320 MH ver.6.x

Motherboard currently: Gigabyte A320M-S2H ver.1.2

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaw 5 2X4 GB 3200

PowerSupply: EVGA 600 BR

SSD: Samsung EVO 870 250GB

Power supply working? 8 pin Molex connected?

@imicrosoldering Yes everythings connected and the fans and RGB turn on but the fan Ramps up and down

@pikapika3092 If that’s the second motherboard I would use some magnification and check for a bent CPU pin, not much else it can be.

Try connecting a pc speaker (example only) to the header pins on the motherboard (see image below for location on Gigabyte motherboard) and check if there are any beep error codes

I realize that the problem has occurred with two different motherboards but it is one way to find out what may be happening

Also do a paperclip test on the PSU to make sure that all the voltage supplies are OK.

I have installed the speaker and there are no beeps

No beeps means that it may not be even starting POST

Did you test the PSU or check the CPU for bent pins etc as suggested by @imicrosoldering, you didn't say?
