Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble getting my PC to boot. When I press the main power button, the fans spin 10 degrees and then stop. The front LED starts blinking, but the GPU fans keep running. Neither the start nor reset buttons work. Could there be a wiring or power problem?

Did it function properly before? (Or is this a recent installation?)
- Inspect the front panel connections for proper attachment.
- Verify that all cables are securely connected and all parts are correctly positioned. (turn off the power and disconnect components beforehand, then reattach.)

Short the power and ground pins on the front panel header of the motherboard. If the motherboard powers up, the issue likely lies in your case's power switch or connections.

It's not a different setup, just a recent relocation from its initial location.
I attempted to force all cables into the motherboard.

Are you asking about connecting a bridge between the + and ground pins of power button contacts?

Because it functioned earlier, it's probable that the front panel power switch and cable became dislodged or were harmed during the relocation.

All pins LED, PW and RESET were unplugged from the power part of the motherboard.
Connecting PW pins for a full 2 seconds does not initiate the booting process.
To verify, can I link PW + to any GND pin?

Most likely a bad power supply. I have a power supply tester that I normally use for this. But there is a paperclip trick for them as well.

Confirming, the power pin functions as a temporary switch with ground compatibility.
Recheck the app for your connections and verify the RAM placement.

We got it correct, guys! A portion of the main power supply pins wasn't fully connected.
