***new builder here, just trying to get clarity***
So I have the Gigabyte GA-B350N Gaming WiFi board, I plug everything where it is supposed to go, 24pin atx cable, 12v 8pin cable and so on. I'm clear on what goes where but when I turn on my power supply and press the power button...
Absolutely nothing happens, screen doesn't turn on, no LEDs light up, no fans spinning. Absolutely nothing happens.
I tested the power supply (wire inside the green/black pin holes method) and the fan turned on immediately so it can't be my power supply. (500w btw)
Now this is when I discovered I accidentally bent a few of my pins when I inserted my CPU originally (was going to resituate my CPU/GPU to see if that would trigger a boot) I straightened them out as best as I possibly could given my tools which was a flat head screwdriver (more or less an "eh ok" end result)
Now my question is, even with some bent pins and even in a wild case say faulty ram sticks, the PC should at least TURN ON, right? Not a single sign of life when all components are plugged in is pointing toward a broken motherboard no? Am I on to something or am I completely off base here? I'm trying to narrow down my issues, trying to avoid buying a new Ryzen 1600. I doubt bent pins would force them whole system to be unresponsive. Same for ram, GPU, and so on.
Can anyone confirm if this is a mobo issue or perhaps my PSU is not strong enough? (seriously doubt that, this is an ITX build using a ryzen cpu and a gtx 1070. More than enough power.) Maybe my PSU is not strong enough (read something about "setting the power supply voltage" but I don't know how to do this.)
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
