Computer Won't Turn On

[Notgower]

Hello all,

 

Having another issue. I just bought all the parts for my computer and my friend helped me assemble it, though he just sort of threw it together to get it up and running - which he did and we installed windows. It was working fine yesterday, but the side panels couldn't even go on because of all of the cables. So I just spent about an hour unplugging and re-plugging things in multiple times so that I could have the best cable management and get the side panels on.

Now that I have done that, it wont boot up. When I plug the power supply cable in, the LED lights for the computers power button turn on automatically before I actually turn on the computer. It looks like an orange color almost and when the computer was on before it was completely red so I think that it is normal for it to be on while the computer is off. Anyways, when I actually hit the power button nothing happens at all. The fans are not running nor does the computer boot up - but the LED light is on showing that it has power.

I'm fairly confident that I got everything plugged in where it should be but I may be wrong. Does anyone have any idea what it could be that's causing this?

Unplug and replug everything in again.

if that doesn't work, test each part!

Pictures please and specs you probably didnt put the correct cable into the power plug socket thingy

If this helps at all, the only things I actually unplugged and plugged back in was: The video card, the VGA that goes into the video card, the SATA cables going into the SSD and HDD, the SATA cables and VGA cable going into the power supply, the LED lights that connect to the motherboard (which the lights are working), and the front panel USB 3.0 that connects into the mother board.

@ThatOneRussian, I could upload a picture but I don't think that would help much because you wouldn't be able to see if everything is plugged in and if it is plugged in properly. Also what do my computer specs have to do with the computer not turning on?

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Andrewblakem/saved/yXzwrH This is the build I made and all the hardware I have so you know my specs. I can upload a picture in a second but like I said, you won't be able to see what is/isn't plugged in very well.

And I do, I just wasn't by the computer :L

Plug what in exactly?

Here are the best images I could get. I took the video card out so you should see the whole board.

CPU power plugged in? Can't see very clearly in the picture.

Solved it guys. The power switch cable was plugged into the wrong set of pins.
