Hello everyone, I just finished assembling my new build last night. Everything seems connected and powered on, but I’m facing a problem. When I power it up, the CPU fan and chassis fans spin once then stop. The lights come on but no fans are running. I haven’t even connected the GPU yet because of this. During assembly, I had trouble getting the top left screw of the motherboard into its bracket—it didn’t fit properly. The rest of the screws worked, but the board wobbles when I press on it. I’m not sure what to do next. I read somewhere a BIOS update might help, but it’s unclear if that would affect the fans. I tried unplugging and plugging everything back in several times, but it still doesn’t work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Missed the 4+4 pin CPU power connector in the top left, so the CPU isn't receiving power. Also, most boards won't boot without a GPU if the CPU lacks an IGPU.

It seems you're mixing screw types for your motherboard standoffs. The correct choice is M3 #6 threaded screws. Those should be M3 #8-10 versions, which might explain the issue with tightening.
