I recently acquired a new motherboard, power supply unit, and tower. All components are installed in my setup, but the PC won’t boot. I’ve verified connections, confirmed the front panel buttons work with a screwdriver, and ensured the PSU is properly wired—except for the VGA cable which isn’t needed. The motherboard shows a green light, indicating power is reaching it. My monitor is also connected. I’ve removed non-essential parts like one RAM stick to test if something was defective. Despite these checks, nothing is working. Could you help identify the issue? I’m ready to answer any questions.
