Question Gaming desktop won't turn on

[sskyhigh]

Hey all,

So I am new to pc building and I bought all the parts to build a gaming desktop.
I followed this tutorial on YouTube, and around 55:14 where the youtuber plugged in the PSU and all that, his machine powers on while mine does not. I did pretty much everything.. well there is one thing that I did not do and it's installing the PowerSW and powerLed (Because those ones are really, really hard to plug in to the motherboard - Could that be the reason?) and maybe the fans may not connect I think. The YouTubers lights turned on (ram rgb, fans also shows light).. but mine does not.
However, the motherboard lights up RGB (to the left) - When I plugged the motherboard into the graphics card, Monitor shows No Signal. I also tried plugging the HDMI cable into the motherboard socket too. (To no avail) HDMI cable works, tested on laptop before.
What exactly is the problem? I checked the PSU and doesn't seem anything is wrong there. I'm not even given the option to install windows either.
See pictures below of problem:

Hey there,

It sounds like you've put in a lot of effort into your PC build! Let's see if we can troubleshoot the issue and get your gaming desktop up and running.

First things first, those PowerSW and powerLed connectors might be small, but they're super important. Double-check those connections to the motherboard. Sometimes, these tiny pins can be a bit tricky to align properly, but they're crucial for powering on your system.

Since your motherboard's RGB lights are on, that's a good sign that at least some power is flowing. But it's worth checking if your CPU cooler, RAM, and GPU are seated properly in their respective slots. A loose component can cause issues with powering on.

Regarding the fans, they should be connected to the motherboard's fan headers. Make sure they're properly connected, so they can spin up and provide cooling.

As for the "No Signal" issue on your monitor, try making sure that your GPU is seated correctly in its slot and that the HDMI cable is securely connected. Also, ensure that the monitor source is set to HDMI.

It's also worth checking if all power connectors from your PSU are properly plugged into your components, especially the GPU.

Lastly, I'd recommend trying a minimal setup first. Disconnect unnecessary components like extra storage drives, leaving just the essentials: CPU, RAM, GPU, and PSU. This can help identify if any of the other parts are causing the problem.

Remember, PC building can sometimes be a bit tricky, but troubleshooting step by step can often help identify the issue. Good luck, and feel free to share more details if you need further assistance!

Best regards,

Yeah. Now just trying to figure out how to get the fan argb working...

What adapter is this? Can someone please explain?
