Put everything in, plugged it in to an outlet and jumped it with a screwdriver because my case power button is broken. It's my first time building so I'm pretty scared. It boots! Fans start spinning and I can hear it working. So i go to unplug it and I take the cord out of the psu. I try to boot it again and I have changed nothing, and it just wont boot. No fans, no sounds. What could have happened that made it not boot a second time?

PC only booted once?

UPDATE I FIXED IT! it had to do with me starting it with a screwdriver, unplugging it, replugging it and trying to start it again
