i7 6700K

NZXT Kraken X61

MSI Z170 Krait Gaming Motherboard

Kingston HyperX DDR4 2133 2x8

1TB WD Blue

250GB Crucial BX100

Sapphire R9 390 Nitro

EVGA SuperNova 750W G2

NZXT H440

 

A few days ago I finished assembling my first PC and at first it worked fine and booted into the BIOS but now it doesn't turn on. I tested the power supply with the power supply tester EVGA provided in the box and the PSU ran fine (So did the fans on the Kraken X61 radiator) however when I plugged the 24 pin ATX onto the motherboard there's no indication of life and the entire PC doesn't power up. I also made sure all of the power connectors were in properly and it still won't power up. Did my motherboard get fried or is something else causing it?

Are any led's on the mobo on?

Maybe fan's are spinning, when u switch it on?

From your words, it looks like a dead mobo for now.

You could accidently bend it, when put the cpu cooler on. But I don't think it's your fault.

No LEDS on the mobo (EZ Bug LED doesn't light up)
