Problem with the new PC setup, need assistance.
Hello, I'm trying to assemble a new computer but it's not starting up. After putting it in the case and connecting everything, the power supply began making clicking sounds. The fans would turn on and off irregularly, while the CPU and GPU fans kept spinning continuously. I took the motherboard out of the case and PSU to investigate. It turned out I had connected the incorrect motherboard cable into the PSU (it should have been a smaller one). When I fixed that, the motherboard light came on but the CPU and GPU fans still didn't spin. Connecting it to my monitor and keyboard produced no signal, so it wasn't booting. I suspect there might have been a short circuit on the motherboard, though I'm worried I could have damaged it further. I'm using a 5600X with the Asus TUF B520M Wi-Fi and an Asus 4060TI. Thank you for any advice or insights!
Yes, that's exactly what it looks like. Are we confirming the 24-pin connection? It seems like you might have inserted the incorrect cable into the wrong port on your power supply unit.
