It's clearly marked Power LED, Power Switch, HDD LED, and Reset Switch... 

That is the same connector? I can't tell

And do you have a similar bundle of wires inside your case that are also labelled as Power Switch, Power LED, HDD LED, Reset Switch, etc.? It should be around the front of the case. 

No it doesent look like it. Bro we need Linus for this

I did some digging and you might have the following harnesses in your case. More specifically, the one we should be interested in is the F_PANEL one. Confirm that you have that. I suspect the adapter you have plugs into that F_PANEL thing. That's the only thing I can think of right now. I'll have to do some more digging on this case if that's not the case (pun not intended).

Yes there is a f-panel

It's been a while since I've purchased or had the chance to look at a new case. But it seems this adapter might go to this F_PANEL connector coming from the case.

 

I suspect MSI provides this adapter because they aren't using the same layout as this connector. It's a pretty common thing. Board manufacturers did whatever they wanted when it came to front panel pin outs.

The F-Pannel adapter can plug directly into Intel standard motherboards. Or you can do what you are doing now which is manually put the little plugs together.

So I can’t figure out where to plug this in and my pc won’t boot without it I think. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong 

 

mayube the PW switch has to be plugged in the other way around? since it has a + and -?

Well I guess we'll mess with that adapter a bit later then. Let's just make sure your machine actually POSTs first or else this entire exercise is just a waste a time hahahaaa. In your motherboard manual it should tell you which two pins are for the Power Switch. You want to short those two pints (and those two only) with something conductive, could be a screw driver or a pair of scissors. Doing so will simulate a power button press. If your machine doesn't turn on, then we got other problems to contend with at the moment. Make sure your PSU is plugged in and switched on as well. These MSI motherboards don't have a LED to indicate the board is receiving power like ASUS boards do. Sort of annoying for troubleshooting purposes.

Make sure you did not mix up the cables should not mater though most are reversible. Could just be a grounding issue due to your screw situation aswell...

This will be very helpful I think but me being new to this I don’t know exactly what your saying. Imma screenshot and show it to my friend. Also I have to give up for the night. Thanks so much for the help anyway

Thanks so much for helping me earlier and I finally got fans spinning along with my heat sink  graphics card isn’t spinning tho and the moniter  still says no signal

We should prey for you !!!

I would suggest you STOP.

Get to a Professional to get this going...

Man, Hopefully all the components are free or not yours....

 

Please get to a computer builder... or if there is someone you know who knows what he is doing...

Sorry for being rude, but that is not the intention... just want to make sure you do not FUBAR the components...
