I purchased a Asus STRIX B250F GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard, this is a new build I have added all new parts and they are as follows, Core I7-7700 cpu, 64 gb Cosair Vengeance LPX RAM, Thermatake tough power 600 watt PSU, 1 Western Digital M.2 drive, Motherboard powers up lets out 1 beep and has a single cursor on the monitor screen, also the keyboard doesn't light up so I can't open the bios. I have switched the ram around, tried one stick as well as a simple 4 gb stick with no change, I added my new 1050ti, same problem. There are no leds showing error only on lite up is the standby power, I switched around the front panel connections, still nothing. Removed the m.2 drive and tried a 380gb western digital, nothing. I went over all connections 3 times with no change, remove the cpu and checked the pins, nothing is bent, unhooked the usb from the motherboard and still nothing. I ordered in the same board refurbished and have the same problem any ideas or something I missed?

Check your memory sticks are compatible with the motherboard.
This is from the ASUS website for your mobo;
4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
* Due to Intel® chipset limitation, DDR4 2400MHz memory frequency is only supported by 7th Generation Intel® processors. Higher memory modules will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2400MHz.
** Due to Intel® chipset limitation, DDR4 2133MHz and higher memory modules on 6th Generation Intel® processors will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2133MHz.
Dual Channel Memory Architecture
Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)
* Refer to www.asus.com for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).
And what is the model of the PSU, like ToughPower GX1, GF1, Grand, etc.

thanks I have verified with Asus everything will work as I even tried 4gb 2133 ram and same problem, the memory is on their qualified list it is a 7th generation processor, the psu is toughpower gx2 as I also tried an msi and evga supplies with no change, tested all power supplies as they are new and work perfectly, ram works flawless in another similar system as does the processor everything in this system is new bought right from the companies so I new I was getting new parts
Since you have 64GB of RAM, you must have 4x16GB sticks.
What speed are they?
What speed are they?
And where did that 4GB stick come from - and was it in the QVL?
Have you tried just one 16GB stick at a time, and in different slots?
How is the keyboard connected: wireless or USB and if USB, front or back panel, and into a USB2 or USB3 port?
How were the PSU's tested?

they are 2666 mhz as listed in the 4 gb stick was a spare new one I had and I tried all the sticks single and in different slots, Keyboard and mouse I have tried in all the rear usb ports and last on the front ports, mouse works fine, keyboard doesn't light up, tried a different key board with same results. The PSU'S were test by the PS tester I have both are new and tested as new. I even took a magnifying glass to examine the cpu pins and none are bent or missing. The only led lite on the board other than the RGB is the standby power, lower left, none of the troubleshooting LED's on the top left are lite. The picture above is the complete system placed in a Rosewell 4U rack mount, I have tried boot up with everything removed except the m.2 drive, possibly could tat be the problem, once I get it booted do I have to turn in on in the bios?
If I'm reading the ASUS website specs right, quoted in post #2, that mobo only wants 2400 or 2133Mhz sticks.
Let's get some more eyes on this: @phillpower2 @Rustys @PeterOz @Pyro

Should not cause a problem.
Remove and boot with no drive.
If no bios.
Remove all ram. Boot
What happens.
Good find. 
However, removing the TPM will not allow you to upgrade to Win11 if you were not already on it.
And if you are already Win11, I'm not sure what will happen now, as a TPM is a core requirement for Win11.
