Hello community!
I just spent my afternoon building my first PC. I checked all the manuals and made sure each cable was securely in place and paperclip tested my PSU. The fan runs. However, when everything is put together, when I flip on the PSU switch, the fans run for half a second and stop. When I press the power button, nothing happens. I went through an entire thread on things I could do to troubleshoot like putting the RAM in the last slot. My PC specs are as follows:
Intel I5 4590
MSI H97 MOBO
Corsair cx600w psu
G.skill 8x1 stick
Define r5 black w/ window
I was told that I should at least be able to get into the bios and see the fans spinning without my gpu and ssd in. Any solutions?

Yep, that was the problem. Sorry it took a week to respond. It took a lot of muscle to get it in.
