Try this first and let us know what happens.

Did you plug in all necessary power connectors on the motherboard?

The system didn't POST with the motherboard out of the case? You have a defective part.

Are you getting any beeps at all?

Are you using the RaidMax power supply that came in the case? Those are cheap, low quality units and you may have a defective one in that case. Do you have another compatible power supply you can swap in to test with?

Do you have any compatible spare parts you can swap in to test with?

Yes, it's possible...FIC isn't a well regarded brand...low quality, reliability issues, etc...

What happens if you try to power up the motherboard with just the CPU and heatsink installed...no RAM. You should get BIOS beeps saying there is something wrong with the RAM. If you don't get any beeps, the motherboard may be DOA.
