Right now, all I have connected to my motherboard is the CPU connector, 24 pin wire, two sticks of RAM and my actual CPU with cooler. When I press the on switch on the power supply, nothing turns on. When I touch a screwdriver to the front panel connectors labeled for power and reset, both the PSU and CPU coolers start moving. Plugging in the actual pins wire connectors does nothing. Not sure how to go forward. or if this means my pins are messed up. They don't look bent, and nothing looks wrong with my wires. Any help is appreciated! First build so there may be something basic I haven't thought of.
