PC wont turn on after transferring components into a new case

swftre

I just got a new case today, and I have just finished transferring my components from an old case to the new one. However, as soon as I plugged in everything, the PC wouldnt turn on. What could the problem be, and how could I fix it?

 

Note : I was just using the PC before I transferred my components to the new case, and everything was working just fine.

Well, I'd start by checking all the (internal) cables, mainly power, and see if there's something loose.

Well, I'm an idiot.

I accidentally plugged one of the 4pin cpu connectors upside down.

 

Thank you for helping!!!!

You're lucky that you didn't melt your board and connector. Your mobo must have a reverse current protection diodes.

Unfortunately not all of them have it. I found that out the hard way with a mid range ASUS mobo that never had any and I melted the atx 4 pin right to the mother board lol.
