The computer isn't powering up.
as i mentioned, focus on ensuring everything is properly connected. i’d start with the basics—just use the simplest setup to get it running (watch the cpu fan spin and the debug LED work). skip the GPU or drive, stick to the board, CPU, cooler, and a single RAM stick. Test each slot by checking for clicks when you insert the RAM. confirm the power cable is plugged into the correct two pins on the motherboard. for quick testing outside the case, gently short those two pins with a screwdriver.
it indicates the JFP1 location, so we'll start with the power supply connections. There are two rows of pins on the JFP1 header (front panel), with four pins on the top and five on the bottom. Connect the power supply wires to the top row—two pins on the right side.
