Solved!
New power supply and it works like a charm. Ty for all your help everyone!
The PSU as a potential culprit had come up. I didn't want to mess with it for the reasons you stated. I have a friend who works with that sort of thing a lot though, so I went to him.]]> Fri, 26 Jan 2018 10:27:00 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7114&PID=43940&title=solvednew-build-not-starting-x370-taichi#43940 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7114&PID=43096&title=solvednew-build-not-starting-x370-taichi#43096 Author: zlobster

Hope to hear you have advanced!

I seldom advise people to check their PSU on their own. It's not that hard, but it's not trivial either. Playing with electricity is not a good thing when one doesn't know what one's doing.

Well, I hate hindsight  and I won't tell you that I had this in mind for you to try as well. Fook, I just did!

I guess I won't be dissing possibilities that easily from now on. Thanks for the lesson, @evilben!

I think we figured it out! A friend who is electrical savvy checked out the PSU and shorting the start switch caused the PSU to turn on for a second then stop, just like what was happening to my machine. Going to get a new one and hopefully that'll fix it.

Whelp I got a new Mobo from Newegg and it has the same result... Yay... Does that narrow it down to a bad PSU or CPU as I still got nothing running it with only those attached?]]> Fri, 12 Jan 2018 10:23:48 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7114&PID=42869&title=solvednew-build-not-starting-x370-taichi#42869 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7114&PID=42095&title=solvednew-build-not-starting-x370-taichi#42095 Author: zlobster

Looking through here http://www.formfactors.org/developer%5Cspecs%5Catx2_2.pdf and it looks like Fortron just decided to save a few oz. of metal from the connectors with some cheap tricks.

While totally not per the ATX spec your PSU should work just as fine.

It will be extremely interesting for me to see how this turns out! Best of luck, fingers crossed!

Psu side https://i.imgur.com/dPvHrDe.jpg
Mobo side https://i.imgur.com/suAtbcZ.jpg
You can see the spots without metal contacts. There are no wires in those at all.

I am attempting an RMA from Newegg. Hopefully it is just a bad Mobo. ]]> Sun, 31 Dec 2017 06:43:50 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7114&PID=42080&title=solvednew-build-not-starting-x370-taichi#42080 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7114&PID=42077&title=solvednew-build-not-starting-x370-taichi#42077 Author: zlobster

On a side note, I can't really imagine which wires are missing. Could you please post some pictures with all wires you're suspicious of?
