Hi, thanks for having a read and possibly helping.

Today I've tried upgrading my motherboard and CPU from an x4 880K to an i5-4590. I've tried plugging everything in but when I try either pressing the power button or briefing the pins, nothing happens. And when I say nothing happens, absolutely nothing. I have no idea what I've broken, especially because the same thing happens when I try reinstalling my old motherboard band processor.

 

This is really frustrating me and any help will be appreciated.

Does the power supply have an on/off switch? Is it in the on position?

Are the front panel wires connected correctly?

take a picture of the power button cable, in the first picture it seems that you did not connected anything there but i cant see well

 

if you didnt connected power button, when you press it, nothing will hapen

 

all i can see is pc speaker

 

take a picture of the entire pc to see how you connected everything

 

also seems that the only ram module is not well inserted

It doesn't look like your power button is plugged in.

The ram is fine, I just checked it. The front io isn't connected because it is outside of the case. I used a metal screwdriver to try power on.

then push properly ram into the slot, also the psu connectors, i cant see them well

 

what psu is it? has a power button that psu?

 

also i dont see where you connected the cpu fan

CPU fan is connected to a 3 pin connector labelled CPU fan. The ram is properly installed, the PSU isn't modular so all the cabels are installed in there. It's an EVGA 500w

***UPDATE***

 

I'm pretty sure I've found a, if not the issue. One of the pins in the socket is bent but I don't know if that is the cause of the pc not turning on at all. Also I forgot to say that when I first plugged it in and hit the on button there was a brief flash from the led on the top of the case and a quiet clicking noise.
