PC won't boot!!

So I picked up a new ASUS ROG Maximus, an Intel Core i3-4130, and a fresh case.

Now there's a problem.
I hooked everything up to the case exactly how it should be—WD Blue 600GB HDD, motherboard, CPU, and a cheap MicroStation power supply (plan on swapping it for a Thermaltake soon)—but the rig is dead.
It won't even turn on. No fans spinning, nothing. It just won't boot.
Took it to a repair shop and they tried a different PSU, but still nothing. They aren't sure what's wrong; they mentioned it might be the board or maybe I accidentally bent a CPU pin, though they don't think that's it.
The thing just won't fire up. I get a green light on the motherboard, but that's it. Total silence.
Help me out, please.

I guess I just want to double-check—are the power button, reset button, etc., supposed to be connected exactly how the diagram shows?

I don't mean to sound rude, but did you really just take your PC in for service only for them to test the power supply and nothing else? And then they just handed it back to you without fixing a thing—and now you're coming to a forum to ask for help? I'm honestly a bit confused... I mean, what can we actually do here? To be blunt, the only real way I can help is if you grab a different motherboard to test out—just to see if the system will actually boot up properly.

It's still at the repair shop. They'll try to fix it, but they told me not to hold my breath. :P

Is it possible the CPU is dead, or the motherboard, or there's just zero power getting through?

Are the power button, reset button, etc., hooked up according to the diagram?

Everything is connected right. If it wasn't, I'd say so... plus, the repair shop confirmed everything is wired correctly.

It really depends on where you were building the PC—whether you had it sitting on a carpet, some tile, or a wooden desk. You’ve got to be mindful of static buildup and stay on the same electrical "level" to avoid any surprises. It’s one of those things where you just have to be a little careful.
So, there's a chance you might have run into an issue during the assembly, or maybe the motherboard was just faulty right out of the box. There are plenty of variables to consider, but honestly? You’ll most likely need to pick up a new board. In my experience, processors almost never fail or arrive dead on arrival—it's usually the other components.

Maybe you messed up during the build, or the motherboard is just dead. There are plenty of variables, but you'll likely need a new board. In 99% of cases, the CPU doesn't fail or arrive DOA.

Built it in my own room and followed everything to a T. Bought the processor used (only a month old because some guy got a job and upgraded to an i3, so he didn't need this anymore)—barely used. I have all the paperwork showing a 36-month warranty, plus the motherboard and case have 24-month warranties. No clue what the repair center will say though, since I don't even know how to explain the issue...

Alright, let me know—I'm actually really curious to hear what you think..
