I have the Asus Prime Z390-A and Phanteks evolved case. The case only comes with a power sw and I don’t know where to conect it

Your motherboard's owner's manual details where the power switch is placed on page 1-21. https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/PRIME_Z390-A/E15017_PRIME_Z390-A_UM_V2_WEB.pdf
With the power sw, polarity doesn't matter. Just make sure to plug it into the appropriate spot as shown above.

The motherboard's drawing can help you there but you'll be looking for a nine pin block, the place the tenth should be is usually on the right end as you look from above.

If the background to the pins is colour coded, gently pop a scewdriver between the two pins on green and if the machine powers up, connect the switch to those two. If it doesn't, try another side-by-side pair.

Also, I believe your motherboard has a built-in power button as a quick way to test if your setup works.

Thanks! Have have a bigger problem now tho...

I just finished building my new computer. I have had some minor problems (like my Corsair H115i RGB wont change color even if everything is plugged in) but nothing big.

I played some PUBG and my screen just froze! After like 1 min it blue screened and it said “Machine check exception”. Now when I turn it on it will only last for about five to ten minutes before doing the same thing.

When I start my computer the lamps above the 24 pin lights up in different colors.
CPU is red
DRAM is Orange
VGA is white
BOOT is green
