this build isn’t working as expected. when you first turned it on, there were no images and everything seemed fine except for the lack of power. after unplugging and replugging multiple times, nothing changed. the manual instructions don’t help much. i’m confused about the 4-pin connector on the motherboard—might be a wiring issue. ram is correctly placed, so it’s likely a connector problem. a white flash appears briefly when plugging in, but nothing happens afterward.

It seems like the 24-pin cable is swapped. The solid pin should go into the motherboard, while the split connector should go into the PSU. Hopefully nothing was damaged.

I would take all the cables out again *very carefully* and redo the wiring, ensuring 100% accuracy in selecting the correct cables and matching their ends to the proper components—motherboard, PSU. You can see the last photo; that extra cable inside the case going to the 24-pin connector is incorrect—it should connect to the motherboard end, just like the rest of the cable for that pin.

Verify every cable is completely inserted. A few of your photos display cables that aren't fully connected.

That's why I shifted it to capture images.

This white flash appears only once, suggesting a possible initial issue. I wonder if there’s a short circuit involved.

in the last photo of the 24 pin cable going to the motherboard there is the main part of the cable behind the case but there is a cable (4 wires looks like) inside the case, that should not be happening it is all part of the same cabling, the main 24pin motherboard cable must be plugged in wrong, I have never seen it able to be seperate like that before the 24 pin connector that goes into the motherboard 24pin header is solid block not 2 seperate parts

I understand this might be challenging, but I can remove everything from the case and put it back together to see if a boot forms that way.
