Board appears without power supply.
Hello, the RGB on your motherboard stopped working unexpectedly during startup. Since you weren’t in its case, you used a screwdriver to turn it on and managed to get it running. The BIOS showed everything as recognized, though the GPU fans didn’t spin. After unplugging and plugging it back in, the RGB came back on, but when you tried to power it again, it turned off again and the fans didn’t start. This is your PC link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RB4YQP I checked the pinned posts but have some doubts about testing the faulty power supply due to your semi-modular setup. Feel free to share more details if you need further help.
I'll take a moment to reply.
Update: I pressed the button and kept it down, but nothing changed.
Update part 2: My friend is getting frustrated because I used the wrong pins.
Update part 3: Here are the pins I connected... am I shorting the motherboard?
Wait, what 2 pins on that did you bridge? There is a chance you blew up the TPM SPI, which may have caused other damage. Shouldn't, normally, the RGB and TPM should be decently isolated from each other, but I've seen weirder things. I don't say this to scold, but you have to be extra careful and check the manual before you go bridging contacts if you're not 100% certain of what contacts you are bridging. Even when I'm sure, I'll still double or triple check to be safe. Also, for the future: Those are the two pins to bridge that correspond to the power button.

When it malfunctioned, I'm certain I linked the GND and SPI_MOSI correctly. I fully agree with you; I should have been more precise and double-checked. The video I viewed appears to connect those components, and during the first connection they powered on, leading me to believe I was right. If it wasn't the GND and SPI_MOSI, the pins were near them. Thank you for your assistance.
