Motherboard 24 Pin Socket Broken?

[ASFE]

Hello, I am quite new to building computers and in the midst of building my new PC I ran into an issue. Things started out well until I had finished putting together everything when I attempted to boot it up. When I pressed the power button nothing happened. So I went back and triple-checked everything to make sure it was in its right spot. The CPU, RAM, GPU, Case Fans were all installed correctly. I then assumed it was an issue with the PSU so I checked to see if the cables were in the right places and they were. I then checked to see if the PSU was still alive by using a paperclip in the 20+4 cable and the PSU turned on. I then tried to turn on the computer with the paperclip in all the lights and fans booted up but there was no display which I assumed was because the entire 20+4 cable wasn't entirely in. Is it possible that some of the pins in the 24 Pin socket are broken or just don't work?

Is it a new motherboard?

make sure you plugged the power button cable in the power switch pins on front panel header

plug the 24 pin ad cpu 8 pin

there should be at least 1 led on motherboard as soon as power supply is connected and switched on (if there's on/off switch on psu) - the psu will send 5v stand-by to mobo as soon as it's on and connected. Chipset gets 5v stand-by and waits for on button.

 

at first boot it's normal to take even up to 1 minute for bios to initialize stuff and show something on scree. be patient.

 

if no luck, a bios update may be required. some mobos will support updating bios without cpu installed, by having the bios on a usb stick and pressing a button.

 

no , impropr 24pin insertion is not your problem here.

Thank you, I waited about two minutes and everything turned on and there was display on the monitor. I guess the stress of building a PC for the first time got to me. Once again thanks for your help.
