Okay so I don't really know what to do, so I'm posting for some advice.
A co-worker has a son who was building his own computer. Apparently he built it with a friend who supposedly know's what he's doing, it didn't work. They called a repair guy, repair guy came out and spent an hour and told them it was the power supply. They got a new power supply, didn't work. At this point I got told about all this, they brought it to me to look at, they had the damn motherboard screwed directly to the case, no stand-offs. I tell them that, they take it home. A few days go by, still not working, they bring it to me. They everything was loose, only 2 stand-offs installed, whatever.
I bring the computer home, take everything out, install it correctly. Apply power, motherboard has power light, and RGB lights, turn it on, nothing. No fans, no boot, nothing. Get a new motherboard since it's probably safe they fried the old through there couple weeks of shenanigans with it screwed to the case. Everything spins up including all case fans, cpu fan, GPU, even powers the keyboard and mouse. CPU QLED is on, don't receive any video output. Get new CPU figuring could have been fried at the same time, nothing changes. Still have the CPU QLED on, everything spins up, no video. I also tried another power supply that I know works after all the part changes.
This is the build as it stands.

Oh, I also tried without the front panel stuff connected and just shorting the power switch to boot, because google tells me some people had issues with the front panel stuff preventing boot
Edit: Also, RAM isn't on the supported list, would that really cause the CPU QLED instead of the RAM QLED? Along with just no boot? It's the same timings and stuff as things that are on the list.
Edit 2: Also have an internal speaker plugged into the front panel connectors, no beeps of any kind on power up.
