Hey everyone, just got done putting together my first build. Pressed the power button and nothing. No noises, no leds, no beeps, fans don't spin, absolutely nothing. Power supply light is on and is set to the right voltage. I hooked up both the 24pin atx and 4pin atx power connectors. I cleared the cmos to no prevail. Then I disconnected everything except my cpu, motherboard, and 1 stick of ram to see if I could get to bios but still nothing. One thing to note, when I took the motherboard out of the box there was no protection cap on the CPU socket.
Sounds like the pins for the power switch might not be set up correctly. A lot of OEM cases used proprietary plugs that don't work with another motherboard. That's the first place I'd look.
