I'm building a pc myself for the first time and doing a test build outside of the case on the cardboard motherboard box. When I have the RAM, video card, power supply, and monitor connected, turning on the power supply only results in a green light on the video card (has one connector directly to power supply) - no fans turning, no lights anywhere else. I tried jumping the power supply with a paperclip on the 20+4 pin connector - and the power supply fan started turning. I even went and compared the pins voltages between the two connectors (looks fine). Have the 20+4 connected, pushed in what looks like far enough, the connectors are flush with one another and the clip clipped.
Is this a motherboard problem? I'm really hoping it isn't but at this point that's my only guess left...
Edit to add: Forgot to mention, yep, have the CPU 8-pin power connected as well.
