I was building my first PC today and by the time i was finished i plugged it in and attempted to turn it on. The PSU turned on (Corsair CX450M) and the fan span but nothing else did. The Motherboard i have is an ASROCK AB350 Pro4, my GPU is a Geforce GTX 980, my CPU is a  Ryzen 5 1600 (stock cooler), and ripjaws V ram 2 8g. I have been trying everything for hours i tried the paper clip thing that worked fine. I unplugged by 24 pin and 8 pin and plugged them back in nothing happened still. I made sure the PSU cord was fully plugged in and still nothing. I am debating between going to a tech shop or getting some help on here. I also have a Phanteks Eclipse P400 case. Any help is appreciated

Unplug Everything from the motherboard and check case power connecters then plug it in, Also if stuff lights up you have to reboot 5 times on ryzen for the bios to config.

It doesn't even turn on only the PSU and my motherboard doesn't light up so how am i supposed to tell. Also my CPU cooler fan doesn't spin and I can only find the reset sw plug nothing else so that too could be a cause

Have only 1 stick of RAM in the motherboard, in the slot furthest to the right. See if your computer would post.

Sounds like you maybe have hardware failure.. Try swapping sticks of ram and reseating the CPU

Try resetting the CMOS? Pull the little round battery off the board and put it back in a few seconds later. Also do what @Gungpae said.

you should try both sticks 1 at a time meaning try only 1 8gb stick then try the other 8 gb stick start in one slot then if that doesn't work move to another slot.

You need to plug it into your Graphics card!

do any other fans spin up or just the one on your psu, if they do try removing your gtx 980 and using on board graphics.

most PC shops will test your PSU for free, you could try that, if its fine it's probably your MB or CPU

Breadboard test is key, remove everything unnecessary, start with just cpu and 1 stick of ram on a bare mobo and work up.

 

if it doesnt work at all, cpu/ mobo likely dead or PSU malfunction
