I just finished building my friends PC, and when I pressed the power button, nothing happened, no fans turned on and no lights turned on and no sounds. I looked, and the power supply switch was on, the power switch on motherboard was in the correct + - configuration and the psu is not dead, as I preformed the paperclip test on it. could the motherboard be faulty? maybe the pins that connect to the powerswitch on the motherboard are broken, as I tried to turn on the PC without the power button, I put a screwdriver and bridged the power switch pins and the computer did not turn on.

Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard: Gigibyte B450M DS3H
Ram:T-Force Night Hawk DDR4 2x8gb (16gb)
PSU: EVGA 650w G+ Gold
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1060
Storage: Seagate Barrracuda 1tb hhd
 
Solution
The cpu and motherboard cables are fine
What about the motherboard stand offs? Like extra ones in the case that are not screwed in?
I mean any extra standoffs under your motherboard causing a short, or anything inside your case that is causing a short. Since you can't do much else, at this point you should probably try booting your motherboard outside the case.
