Posted October 17, 2016 Have you plugged in the auxiliary power onto the motherboard? the extra 4 or 8 pin. If so, try moving the RAM around and if you have multiple sticks, try one at a time.

Have another check over all the cables. Start again from scratch if you have to. Try turning it on with only the necessities plugged in.

Posted October 17, 2016 Does your PC power on then off? Or is it that the CPU fan twitches when you press the power on button?

When you say nothing happens. Do you mean the CPU cooler fan starts and continues to spin? or it starts and then stops. And does the fan on you gpu start?
