20 minutes ago I finished assembling my first pc. I was super excited. I went to turn it on, but got absolutely nothing. My next step was to double check that I had plugged in all my cables. I found them all securely fastened, but the computer still would not turn on.
Next, I checked my front panel connectors. They still might be causing an issue because it doesn't specify which ones are positive and which ones are negative. I followed my case's manual for installing the front panel connectors so I was confident I did it right, but choose to unplug then replug all the cables. Still nothing from my computer.
I decided to do a quick google search to find a solution. I followed all of the steps in this guide
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
but still have yet to resolve the problem.
One possible reason for the computer not turning on I can dismiss now: I built it on a wooden table to make sure not to fry the components from static.
Does anybody know what else might be causing the problem and what I can do to fix it?
If it helps a list of components can be found here http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/JQbxK8
