Subject: Fatal1ty H170 Performance - no signal to monitor

So, the monitor came with an HDMI-DVI cable, no particular brand, no adapter (like you use for Macs, as an example), just a cable with HDMI male on one end and DVI on the other. It only has HDMI and VGA on the back, so the HDMI end has to go in the monitor.

The DVI end is DVI-D, single link (two sets of nine pins, plus a single horizontal), which is plugged directly into the DVI port on the board. The monitor is tested and working with my old computer, a Macbook Pro with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
The monitor searches for signals for each of its three ports - one VGA, two HDMI. That's it.
As for the memory, it's F4-2133C15D-32GVR. It's on the QVL on both ends.
One more thing: It should be noted that the RAM doesn't seem to want to sit properly, even in the correct orientation. The white clip at the top of the board will not clip totally in, and you're able to see a lot of the gold contact points along the bottom of the slot, as well as the space between the cut on the RAM stick and the center extrusion of the slot. I don't want to force it in and break the board.
Thanks for getting back, appreciated.
