I just finished assembling my pc and the lights ob my 1070 turn on to show power however the computer won't turn on I've tried starting it with a screwdriver, that didn't work, I have a new power supply and a new motherboard and a new cpu. Considering taking it to a pc shop but I want to save £50. Thanks

Other threads around the internet say that they just unplugged and replugged their motherboard cables in so i really suggest doing that. If not then lets hope a more experienced person comes to save the day.

OK I know this could be annoying, but we have to start with the simple things, instead of asking you 1 by 1, I'll just ask you all at once.
1) Is the 8 Pin CPU cord plugged into the socket at the top left of the motherboard, same goes with all of the other connections. Also make sure that they are fully plugged in.
2) Is the RAM fully seated in the slots, I ask this because that was what was wrong with my build and was a really simple fix.
3) Make sure that the MB standoffs are not installed where they are not being used as they could cause a short in the motherboard.
4) Do you have any way of testing the power supply as it could be defective?

Motherboard standoffs are the preinstalled in the case in which you rest your mothreboard on when building the PC. I doubt that this is it but it never hurts to check, and I'd wait to do that last. Also, you could try to take out and reseat all of your cables in the motherboard, and check your front panel cables.
