Build in process *HELP*

[Newbie 2]

Assembling a system with : Ryzen3 2200G , b350 tomahawk, 8gb ddr4 ram , corsair cx55om (power supply) .  

The problem is that the power supply doesn't seem to turn on and the fans aren't spinning. Any suggestions?

Are you using a screwdriver to jump the pins?

Ok. So first thing is take 1 stick of ram out. Try to turn it on. Could be ram. If that don’t work try the other stick. If that’s doesn’t work I’d suggest trying the paper clip method (http://www.silverstonetek.com/downloads/QA/PSU/PSU-Paper Clip-EN.pdf). If the fan spins up your PSU is fine. If it doesn’t that’ll answer your question. If the PSU works and ram works then I’d suggest taking out the video card and try to boot on integrated graphics. Check your Mobo for swollen capicator, and if that don’t work I’d look into a cpu replacement. I’m dealing with artifacting gpu and I thought I was dealing with an issue, new gpu and still issue so it should be fine xD.

Best thing to do is narrow it down to which component is taking a shit and RMA it. My rule of thumb is if the conputer turns on and stays on, without crashing then just play the game. Best of luck. BTW I installed ram wrong once and conputer wouldn’t boot, so I’d  check that it’s in place.

Yep , the psu works . I tried everything else, no results. I guess it's the motherboard, because the CPU fans won't turn on , as well as everything else . Btw , big thanks to Nabby5408 for the paper clip method ✌? .

Does the mobo work, does it receive any power?

Nope . It doesn't receive power . With the paper clip method I checked the psu and it works . The motherboard doesn't receive power.

You have to jump the power button pins to start your PC outside of the case like Jamiec1130 said.

It's not supposed to turn on without doing that so you don't have a problem at all

Here's a gamers nexus video on what pins to jump:
