Hello,
So today I tried upgrading my PC on my own for the first time and it seems I've screwed something up.
When I try to turn on the system, the power LED lights up green and the Ethernet LED blinks, but nothing else happens - no noise, no fans, nothing.

Specs:
MB: Asus Z170-A
CPU: i7-6700k
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB CMK16GX4M2B3000C15
GPU: RX 480
CPU fan: Arctic Alpine 11 Pro rev 2
PSU: Antec 550W 80+ VP550P

From what I've seen everything appears to be connected correctly. Any help?
 
Solution
Hi, try starting the board by shortly touching with a screwdriver the 2 pins on the motherboard corresponding to the case power button.
If still no go, try testing the board outside the case, to rule out a short. Disconnect all case fans and test.
