So I just built a new system for my girlfriend and had it working just swimmingly. I'm new to the whole Addressable RGB on case fans (or anything in a PC) so the only thing I didn't connect was that. I reopened the case and then decided to connect the RGB cable to the MoBo. PC worked fine, but the RGB wasn't exactly as advertised, so I decided to add the RGB controller that came with the case (Cooler Master H500).
Adding the RGB controller meant that I had to add one of the SATA power cables to the semi-modular PSU. During this dive into the case I decided to re-route the 8-pin connector to the MoBo through the back of the case. There wasn't as much slack as I would have liked, but I was able to get it in there just fine (or at least I think so).
After this last step the PC stopped working. No case fans turn on, the PSU fan doesn't turn on (nor it's RGB lighting), no beep.
What does turn on is the RGB RAM lights, the RGB mouse lights, and I get a single flash of light from the CPU light at the bottom right of the MoBo (CPU, DRAM, VGA, BOOT).
I have tried reseating everything (components and cables) and have also removed the GPU and the WiFi card. Tried one stick of each RAM at a time and the problem remains. I even removed the SATA power cable and PCI-e cables on the PSU just in case. I rerouted the 8-pin connector through the front where cable slack wasn't an issue (how I originally had it).
Assuming that I'm careful in regards to Electrostatic Discharge, could this be a PSU issue? Was I not careful and accidentally trashed the MoBo or the CPU with ESD?
Here are the specs:
CPU: Intel Core i3-9100F (stock CPU fan)
MoBo: Gigabyte Z390 UD
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200 (2x 8GB)
PSU: PowerSpec 650w 80+ Bronze
Storage: Intel SSD 660P 1TB (M.2 NVMe)
Case: Cooler Master H500
GPU: Asus GTX 770 Ti (not connected for troubleshooting)
