So I just finished building my first custom build yesterday and I tested it at my dad's house where I built it all. It was working fine and never closed/crash or anything. I had like downloaded drivers and when I was done I downloaded steam and cs go. But then I just arrived at my mom's house. And I plug evereything in. And my computer opens then closes after like 1-2 seconds. Sometimes it just doesn't open. Now it's not opening anymore.. I've tried with multiple wall plugs and nothing happens. It's like if there's not enough wattage(?) In my wall for my computer. My dad has a brand new house and at my mom I live in like a 100 years and older appartment.. Also, My 24pin powersupply main thingy that I plug into my motherboard doesn't wanna go further (picture : ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/3rq6pg http://i.imgur.com/ZDVXB0m.png http://i.imgur.com/LEfshKI.png )
please help me. I <mod edit> hate it if it's my appartment being to <mod edit> retarded.

If your 24 pin psu connector does not go in properly, that is the source of your problem.
Did you disconnect it during the move?
The image is not clear. The connector is keyed to only fit one way.

An older house wiring will often not have grounded outlets. I doubt that is the source of your problem though. If the circuit did not have sufficient power, you would blow a fuse first.
