Forgot to plug in CPU connector and now my pc doesn't show any life.

I recently bought all the parts to start building a pc. When I went to turn it on it worked fine but then I saw I forgot to plug in the CPU connector. I turned off my pc and plugged it in. Now I am getting no signs of life in the computer. I'm worried I fried the motherboard. Can someone please tell me what I did and how I can fix it. Thank you!

May try clear the CMOS by the jumper or removing the CMOS battery. Then you should be able to reboot the PC.

Take a look at the cable, maybe you swapped PCI-E and CPU cable.
