Hi, last night, I built my PC consisting of these parts:

AMD Athlon X4 760K

MSI A78 E35 FM2+ Motherboard

8 GB G.Skill Ripjaws at 1600 MHz (one stick)

XFX Radeon R7 260X (Black, with fan)

1 TB Western Digital Caviar Blue

Corsair SPEC-01

Corsair 430W PSU (non-modular)

When I tried turning it on, the fans were running and the LEDs for one of them was on, and then they all immediately turned off. From my observations, the motherboard doesn't seem damaged, all the cables (except excess SATA cables) are plugged in, and I was wearing an anti-static wrist wrap with metal attached to it. Thanks in advanced to anyone that answered.

Yes, all fans are plugged into the SYSFAN(x) and CPUFAN ports.

Okay, someone told me that maybe the power supply is dead or I shorted something out (even though I was wearing an anti-static wrist wrap with a piece of metal attached to it). I'll find someplace I can take the PC to see what's wrong with it. Thanks for your answers.

Actually, I got it fixed. It turns out that I switched the power and reset buttons. Thanks for the replies.
