I've recently bought a new PC, because my actual one was getting really old (Pentium P5K and Intel Quad Duo) and decided to build it myself, even though I had never done it before. Before everything, here are my specs:
I've been following some video and forum instructions to build everything, and I'm pretty sure it's all on its place. My PC was really old, so there are some cables that I don't need to use anymore (like some cables going from the case to the power supply, that I can't use anymore because I can't connect anything to the PSU) and 2 fans without any kind of connection to the motherboard (only connecting to the fan power control on the case), which I guess is a bit weird.
The thing is, I can't get the PC to boot up no matter what. I've tried checking all the connections, and even tried the paper clip trick with the PSU (and now I know the PSU is working just fine). Whatever I try, nothing happens when I push the power button, not a single light, not a single fan. I've also checked that the power switch pin is connected to the motherboard (which it is), but still nothing. I'm at a plain loss, even when talking to my IT friend he can't also guess what might happen.
I'm thinking it might have something to do with the older cables that no longer connect to anything, because every other cable is connected (except for the SATA cables that go from the PSU to the drives, because my case has special cables that go from the drives to the motherboard), but I just have no idea.
Any idea on what the problem might be? Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
