So my PC won't start up, theres is no picture what so over, not even showing up a bio screen, none of the keyboard lights flash either.

I did Unplug the P8 power connector from the motherboard before I went on holiday and now that I got back, and plugged it back in I get power with just a blank screen with no beeps etc. I did unplug the pram that didn't seem to solve anything. PC is new and was perfect until I obviously pulled that cable out, so I am pretty stuck at the moment on what to do.

Take out your BIOS battery set it aside for 10 min insert it back in, this will reset the BIOS to factory default. It should now boot to the BIOS. If the os doesnt boot change the boot sequence to boot from your primary hdd or sdd. If that doesn't work you might need to install your os again. Hope this helps :)

A bios reset should work.
Is there no picture as in the screen is dead (if the PC is powering up), or the screen does power on and light up but doesn't show the bios screen.
Does the CPU fan spin or just the power supply fan when powered on?

Is the CPU fan on full blast during the blank screen? first try to remove your ram and insert them 1 by 1.

Ended up buying a new motherboard, last time I buy an asrock motherboard, and was only 5 months old :( and its not exactly an item you can wait for them to exchange cause that will take a few days and I needed my pc, so i'm hoping I can try get a full cash refund.
