Motherboard is not turning on

Kikothebadluckguy

Hello,

 

So I just built my PC and when I was finished building it and tried to turn it on for the 1st time, it did not turn on. The motherboard did not light up. I checked all the cables and unplugged them and plugged them back in but did not have any effect. My motherboard model is MSI Z170A Gaming Pro and the other components are: MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G, Kingston HyperX Fury 4x8GB (32GB), 2TB 3.5 HDD, 250GB SSD, Corsair H110i GTX Water-cooler and the case Corsair 750D.

Please help me.

 

Thank You,

Kiko

You have your main 24 pin and your 8 pin CPU cables connected, right?

Could be a defective mobo or power supply. Does your mobo have lights on it to indicate it's on? Have any of these components ever worked?

Yes I have those connected, the lights do not turn on. I dont know if any of the components work because there is no power being supplied to the motherboard.

Is the switch on the back of the PSU on?

Yes everything is plugged in. It has never happened before as I've built a PC before.

Yeah that didnt work.

Are you sure you connected the power button on the right connector and the correct rotation?

This, even if you are dead certain, go and have a break, come back and have a look and do it again.

Yes I double-checked it and power connector is connected properly.

Have you verified that the PSU is good?
