Ahoy hoy!

I have a new build I'm tryin to cobble together but I can't get it to post the first time.

I have a ASRock B650E Taichi M/B, Ryzen 7 7600x cpu, an EVGA 850w Gold, a MSI 2060, 32 gig of ram, 1tb SSD and a 1000gig HDD, all in a Fractal Torrent case. I've hooked everything up and can see the RGB and smart switches light up, but when I hit either power button I get no response.

I've reseated the cables, removed the GPU, reseated the ram, waited hours, and nothin, not even the fans kickin up. What Am I missin?

Update: sorry for the delay, works been crazy. The PSU has a tester so I was able to confirm the fans an PSU works. Unhooked everything and plugged it back in, same results.

Update 2: Electric Boogaloo: success! Thank you for all the help, culprit was either the power supply itself or the cables, but the fix was a new psu

Pretty unlikely that the board button and the case button are both broken, you may have a brick on your hands.

Worth testing the PSU anyway, in case only one of the voltages is broken. But you'll need a multimeter.

Are you sure you used the right number of standoffs underneigth? No shorts or anything?

There are 9 in the case, all at the eatx spots with the one in the center having a raised point to act as a guide for the rest

Have you tried a minimal build? Mobo, CPU, 1 stick of ram, nothing else?

Try a couple of the ram sticks, but only one at a time?

I still suspect you have a dead mono, but its worth a try in case something else is causing a short or something.
