Question New build not turning on when CPU power cable is plugged in ?

[dsdinardo]

Hi all,

Trying to troubleshoot why my new computer won't turn on. Specs are below. When I plug just the motherboard power cable into the power supply, the computer turns on (RAM lights up, CPU and case fan start running) and CPU debug LED turns on as expected.

When I then plug the CPU power into the psu, the whole thing won't turn on. I've tried using two different CPU power cords so I don't think those are the issue. I need some help figuring out if it's actually a CPU issue or if it is a motherboard or PSU issue.

You tried this without these?
You tested using both EPS connectors? (cpu power)
