I've had it happen before. Shortly afterward I returned to Amazon to find several other people reporting the same issue in reviews they wrote after I bought it.
Why is it that he can hit a 3rd baseman on a frozen rope from 300 feet away, but he can't hit a 12 foot tall catcher from 60 feet 6 inches away?

What's the exact Motherboard?
I use Google... A lot.... >______>
You sure it doesn't need a BIOS update?

If nothing powers on except the power supply itself it's a dead mobo

My newest mobo wouldn't post until I updated the BIOS.

Did you make sure the power button in the back is on?

I would assume "screen doesn't come on" means no BIOS.

By chance you didn't just yolo the install and slap everything together, did you?
It might be your ram is installed in the wrong slots for a two stick configuration. (Did that exact thing and it wouldn't boot )
They need to be installed in slots B2 and A2 for some dumb reason iirc, not B1 and A1.

Depending on the mobo you can still flash a new BIOS even without it posting. On mine I put a USB stick with an updated BIOS file in the designated slot and pressed the BIOS Flashback button.

This! Its so weird and unintuitive. I had this exact thing happen with my first build. Been wary of it ever since.

Make sure the PSU cables are all connected properly

We tried everything including moving the ram and double checking all the cables. The GPU seemed to work and the power supply came on but none of the usbs registered anything and a boot screen never came up

Some motherboards have a digital display to show error codes. Does yours have this? Is your monitor plugged into the GPU or the motherboard itself? If GPU, try plugging into the motherboard for this in case the motherboard isn't set to the GPU yet.

did it beep at you at all? depending on what stage in the boot up process it is able to get to, computers will give you a beep code to relay the results of the Power-On Self Test, and you can look up what the pattern of the beeps mean.

It doesn't have a display as far as I know. We tried plugging the monitor into the motherboard too

Mobo manufacturers are such fuckin cheapskates, this should be a mandatory feature.
Make sure there's no standoff poking the motherboard

So does it at least power on? If not my last guess outside of it being DOA is your cable for the power button being damaged.

Make sure the PSU switch in the back is turned on. Triple check the alignment of those dumbass front panel connectors, those horrible little shits being even one off (+ or -) has the potential to stop the rig from completely booting. I hate these cables with my huge hands and their tiny, demonic connectors.

Go back to step zero. Make sure your standoff screws are all fully secured and no wire got pinched inbetween the case and motherboard.

Inspect CPU and socket, make sure nothing bent. Reseat, reapply thermal paste.

If using 4x RAM sticks, try taking a pair out and alternating. If using 2x sticks, swap where they are (e.g: #1-#3 to #2-#4)

Make sure all modular cables in the psu are connected fully, and not halfway/unsnapped, as that can create a short. Same goes for where they plug into.
Since only from below can one better see the heights.

Did you try jiggling the cord?
