I recently put together my new PC, and when I power it on, the motherboard's LED goes through yellow, red, and then stays solid white. I've tried reseating the graphics card and tested both the HDMI outputs from the onboard graphics and the video card, but still no display. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should try next?

Definitely post your parts list! It'll help people give you more tailored advice. Also, just as a heads-up, if the bare minimum setup doesn't work, you might want to get your motherboard or CPU checked out at a reliable computer repair shop.
It sounds like you might be dealing with a VGA issue, given that the white LED is indicating that. Have you tried breaking it down to just the essentials? Remove everything except the motherboard, CPU, one stick of RAM, and your CPU cooler. Connect just the PSU to power the motherboard. Use HDMI from the motherboard to see if it boots up. If it works, you can systematically add back components one at a time to see where the problem lies. You might want to double-check your GPU if that's where the issue is coming from. If that doesn't work, you may need to consider returning or replacing your motherboard or CPU.
