Essentially, I just assembled a new PC and it won’t start. It’s my first build so I’m still learning. Here are the details: R5 5600X (stock cooler), RTX 3070 Aorus Master, 32 GB DDR4 3600MHz, T FORCE white RGB RAM, ROG Strix B550-A Gaming, AM4 board, refurbished 750W Corsair PSU, 1 TB Samsung 980 Pro M.2, Lian Li O11 case. I’m not sure why it’s not working—cables seem plugged in, power button doesn’t do anything, PSU is connected but won’t power it. Help needed.

front panel connectors connected? These ones. Does the motherboard box say Ryzen 5000 ready? Its a sticker somewhere on the front.

Ensure the main 24pin is linked and your GPU has power. Use a screwdriver to connect the - and + Power Switch pins. This will make the PC activate. If it doesn’t, your refurbished PSU might be faulty? Verify the power cable is securely attached to the wall and properly seated. In your video, it seems the connection wasn’t visible to you. Also, consider inspecting the strap and screws behind your GPU—take some photos if needed.

I’m really confused… I thought the "-" on the switch meant power off, and the "O" meant power on… sorry to everyone.
