This mb does not appear to have any debug lights, have you tried to manually turn on the computer with a metal object like a screw driver?

ok just tried it and it worked!!!!! do you know what is wrong with it if it works when i use a screwdriver to turn it on?

Maybe power button and reset button wires are in wrong motherboard posts?

turns out two of them were mismatched. it’s working now! thanks!

Yes! Take care.

It's almost always the front panel connectors.

Whoever gets rid of these things deserves a Nobel Prize.

Just standardising them into a consistent layout so case manufacturers could have them on a single block would be fine.

How are you trying to turn on the PC? If you're using the buttons on the case, can you show pictures of the front panel connectors so someone can confirm that it is connected properly?

I love that poking the board with a metal stick is a common solution to these problems.

always the way

You might have the power little cable round the wrong way. You can safely short the power metal prongs on the little annoying connector and jump start the computer that way, when you have the psu on. Just make sure you find correct pins in online motherboard manual.

Your rear exhaust fan is the wrong way
