Talked months ago of upgrading and finally received all parts. Parts:

MSI MEG UNIFY x570

Ryzen 3900X

ac1200i corsair power supply

trident z neo 3600mhz dual 16gb stick ram

scythe fuma 2 cooler

nvidia 980ti

cooler master h500m

 

Can attach pics of build as is now. But i really believe everything is hooked up correctly via mother board and psu. Plug everything into everything then psu into the wall and nothing turns on or spins except for the motherboards on-board power button and the clear cmos button on the back. Ive completely disconnected everything and double checked placement. Im shook and hoping i dont have dead hardware of some sort.

Would a coin or simply the screwdriver work?

A coin will work, as for screwdriver, use the metal instead of ceramic.

I apologies if my comments or post offends you in any way, or if my rage got a little too far. I'll try my best to make my post as non-offensive as much as possible.

So, developments since last post. PSU turned out to be the reason nothing worked. My buddy took mine out and put his in and it turned on. Went to best buy (my only option) and bought a new EVGA 850 GQ. Brought it back hooked it up and it was shorting itself out and not working so back to best buy. Right before i get there buddy calls to tell me bios isnt reading ssd now and hes tried multiple things multiple times. So now i need to buy a new SSD and PSU. $350 later and i have a working computer downloading windows (no key). Get it back to my house last night and nvidia drivers are impossible. Download the newest ones after checking windows updates. And get a stuck black screen half way into install instead of the normal black and then back. Left it to sit and finish for twenty minutes and no screen came back on so i had to reset. This triggered a restart loop where the computer restarted itself yet kept saying it wasnt restarted correctly. From there was a series of trying to reset the pc and start square one with computer reinstalling windows on itself and then trying to get any sort of graphics driver. Can’t seem to be done and today i tried to download windows to a USB and reformat and apparently windows didnt download correctly so i cant even do that

Did you test the components outside the case prior to installation? Always best practice. It could be as simple as an extra standoff shorting the motherboard out.

 

I'd take it fully apart and get it together on a test bench (motherboard box will work)

 

Are you sure those custom PSU cables are Corsair compatible? Different PSU brands have different pinouts.

CPU - Ryzen 7 5800x3D |  GPU - RTX 3080 TUF OC | Motherboard - ASUS TUF X570 | RAM - Patriot Viper Blackout 32GB 3200MHz | Case - InWin 805 | Boot Drive - Corsair MP600 PCIe 4.0  Storage - 2 x 1TB SSD's & 1 500GB SSD | PSU - Seasonic Focus Gold 1000w | Display - ASUS TUF VG27WQ Curved 1440P 165Hz | Cooling - ASUS TUF LC240 AIO + 5 aRGB Fans

Computer will work and boot now its drivers and getting anything software wise to actually be normal and functional. Web browsing was fine and downloading things like cpu id and hwinfo went fine. But the graphics card driver was next to impossible to do and was messing everything up. First time got stuck in restart loop then had to reset pc and it redownloaded windows on itself. Tried a different driver the next time and same instance but turned back on and wanted me to get the control panel. Which said i had a driver i think from Nov., wanted another reset and and now control panel said newest version again. Went through some 3D settings and though all was normal. Until i tried to run heaven benchmark and tried to download Origin. Both gave some msvcp100 dll missing Error. So on to researching that found that microsoft visual c++ wasnt working or installed properly so i tried to repair that and no doce. Been stressing for days and every potential fix seems to have a dead end or road block and i just Dont understand why a literally new everything minus a gpu wont just work

Psu cords had said ax1200i only on them. I have since gotten a 1000w supernova EVGA as that was all my best buy had
