So I am now building my very first PC. I plugged all the stuff in. GPU is not connected. I went to do test boot and nothing turned on/fans didn't run. My HDD cables and all that part is okay as I checked, I am pretty sure I have those LED/Power/Reset cables correct, checked them a lot so I do not think they are the problem. Does that mean maybe my PSU is faulty? or the motherboard is faulty? I added some pictures, tell me if you want any specific/clearer ones.

Here are the parts which I think matter, have not plugged in GPU yet as the PC atm isnt working so no point.

Motherboard: H110M PRO VD

CPU: I3- 6100

PSU: XFX XT 500W

PC Case: Deepcool Tesseract

RAM: Crucial DDR4 2133 Mhz one. 2x4GB

HDD: 1 TB Western Digital

Now the 2 important questions:

1. Can you turn on the PC (fans etc) without a GPU and connecting it to a monitor? Because that is what I am currently trying to do.

2. I jump started my PSU using a paper clip on the 24 pin cable. But then when I plug everything back in, nothing works, no sound (if there is meant to be one), no cpu fan runnings or LED to indicate its turned on on the PC case. So could it still maybe be the PSU cables are bad or could it be the motherboard power pins are bad or something?

Thank you.

to your first question since your CPU has on-board graphics you can indeed connect to a monitor and computers can be made to post without ram storage or a processor so thats not a worry

the second question suggests the problem. first off if you did what i think you said you did and turned the PSU on and then plugged it in while it is running you fried your motherboard by doing that. if not check the pins on your mobo 24pin connector to see if one is missing or bent. secondly as a quick derp check make sure your power IO header is in the correct slot on the MOBO. not. if they are try bridging those two pins the ones for the front IO) to see if your power switch is simply broken. if that also fails it is likely a MOBO issue
