Have you connected the 8 pin power cable to the motherboard?

"When i push the two ON switches nothing happens"
What switches?

Did you connect the front panel headers (the ones that control the power buttons and lights) to the motherboard?

Did you insert the cpu matching up the little notch in the corner correctly?

My motherboard doesn't have any power button on it itself (Its not in the case yet). Instead there are 2 switches with a big ON infront of them. And both the 24-pin connector and the 8-pin connector is plugged in.

Are the switches you are talking about on the power supply or did you wire a button to the panel header of the motherboard?

The switches are on the motherboard but i did not wire a button.

There is 2 pins on your motherboard for a power button. You can wire a momentary switch (which is all your power button is) to the board to manually power it on or you could even just short the pins with a screwdriver for a moment.

Why don't you take a picture for us so we know what you are talking about and that you have not done something that is going to fry your board.

Make sure you have the bare board setting on wood or a non conductive surface.

Those have nothing to do with turning your computer on, you need to consult your manual to see what those switches are for and I would advise moving them back to default position.

You can take a flat head screw driver and momentarly touch the two pins for the power button on the front panel header. This is all the power button does, it allows the electricty form one pin to travel to the other for a second.

"GIGABYTE's AMP UP audio was featured back when they launched their Z87 series of boards, which allows the swapping of OP AMPs, but it's taken a bit further in this series. An OP AMP is essentially an amplifier IC socket with configurable amplification modes via four dip switches. Gamers can order any of the near 40 compatible amps on the market. The amps all provide varied frequency and volume enhancements so the combinations are many. Just make sure you power off the board before swapping amplifiers.

Sry for my stupidity for not reading the manual. But now everything works well 😀
