PC won't turn on

Good day. I've just built a PC and upon trying to turn it on, I get no response apart from the MSI EZ Debug LEDs flashing for a split second, then turning off. No fans start spinning, no other lights turn on. I've jump started my PSU with a paper clip and it worked. I am however doubtful that my components are dead because I fail to turn on my old components with the same PSU. 

 

Please help me, I have no idea what to do.

 

My parts are: 

Ryzen 5 3500

MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX

Klevv 1*16GB DDR4 2666Mhz

MSI Radeon R9 390 Gaming 8GB

***I think my PSU is a Antec 700W- not too sure of the name

Does your MOBO support that cpu out of the box without BIOS updates?

So you're saying it gets all the way through the boot process and into Windows if you jumpstart the PSU? That would indicate there's no real issue. It would have to be down to something wrong with the actual power button on the case or the front panel headers.

No, it I don't know how to jump the PSU and have the 24 pin plugged into the motherboard at the same time. 

 

Is there a way?

Short the motherboard header pins that are mean to be the power button.

You manual should have this listed on what pins to short.

I've tried that first. It does the same thing as in my original post. Thank you for your suggestion anyway.
