Newly Built Computer Not Posting

[KittyFish62]

So, just a few days ago, I built a budget PC for myself, mostly to play older games like Skyrim and some F2P games. Today, while I was playing some War Thunder, all of a sudden it just shut down. I tried booting it up, and nothing happened. I then took the 24 pin connector out and got a paper clip and put it into the green pin and the ground pin. The PSU seemed to be working just fine. I then plugged it back in. Nothing happened. I then did this hack where I cut a ground wire and the green wire and hooked them together. All this does is make it so when you flip the switch on the power supply it immediately turns on instead of waiting on you to push the power button. I then flipped the switch, and after a minute or two, it powers on, but it doesn't post.

Specs:
PSU- Seasonic SS-400ET Active PFC F3
Motherboard- Gigabyte 970A-DS3P FX
CPU- FX-4350
GPU: GTX 660
RAM- 2x4 1600 Generic RAM

Edit:
I've tried reseting the CMOS, and it powered on faster, but same results. It powered on at the same speed as before afterwards. I've also tried to do the steps on that one stickied thread. No luck.

Edit 2:
Tried taking out the RAM. Same results.

Edit 3:
Forgot to add the GPU. Added it now.

Edit 4:
Meant 2x4 RAM, fixed it now.

At least it's fixed, however, this is exactly why you should listen to folks who've been building, customizing and troubleshooting systems for like, well, since personal computers became a thing. In like the late 70's and early 80's.

Yes, many of the members and moderators here have been doing this for that long.
