Ok, so here is my problem ( I included a picture to go along with this problem description at the bottom of the post), and it is completely blowing my mind. Recently I just got a new tower for my computer, the CM Storm Stryker. I was finishing installing all of my computer's component's into the tower, and the last thing to do was to plug the PWR, RESET, and those other small little pins into their place on the mobo (GA-Z77X-UD5H). Well when I did that and pressed the power button, nothing happened. So I found another small pin that looked slightly different than the others, and I think it was the fan control pin. Well I went to go find a place to plug it in, and I assumed that maybe the pins (green box) above the power pins was where to plug it in. SO I go to plug it in, and I simply touched the pins to the pins on the mobo and the mobo instantly turned on. I assumed this was nothing weird, so I continued to press the pins all the way into place. This caused everything to suddenly shut off. And now nothing will start back on! My mobo won't even show any lights of any form! I thought maybe I did something to my power supply (Corsair TX850), so I took it out and did the paper clip trick with my fans plugged into it, and the fan instantly started to move. So then I went out and bought a new 2032 battery for the mobo, still nothing. So then I had a recent thought that maybe once I plug in the 8x connector and the 24x connector into the mobo, that I should use the paper clip trick from the top of the pins. So that it is plugged into the mobo. I do this, and the mobo actually turns on, but now the power button is orange, and there are two alternating orange lights (the orange box) on the board. Pressing the power button, reset button, or cmos button on the mobo seems to do nothing. And as soon as I remove the paper clip from the top of the connector, everything goes dead again. What should I do?
