Sort of a broad question here, but anyone have any suggestions to why my mobo wont turn on? everything seems like its connected properly, probably screwed the switch up or the pins for the switch. just wondering if anyone encounters semi generic problems or common issues? its a 270 board.
If your mobo is sitting out on a table/etc and isn't inside a case take a photo, upload it to imgur, and post it here. That might help.
Off the top of my head: did you connect the 24 pin ATX power AND the 8 pin CPU power? Are you sure you have your power switch connected to the proper headers/pins? If you look closely at the motherboard front panel pins there's a legend to show which pins correspond to power, reset, HDD LED, etc. Remove your front panel connectors/power switch and try taking a flathead screwdriver and touching it to the 2 power pins simultaneously for about a half second (creating a short between them which is what your power button does) and see if it powers up.
Last but not least... is the toggle switch on your power supply turned on? Stranger things have happened
I forgot one time to plug in the CPU power.
I would try starting it up with nothing in it and go from there
Clear the cmos. Little things add up
