I recently swapped out my EVGA Bronze 850W power supply for a Corsair 850W Gold unit, but I'm having trouble getting my system to power on. The fans spin for a moment but then stop, and the system isn't posting at all. I've connected the PCIe cables, motherboard, CPU connections, and SATA cables for my drives. Can anyone help me figure out what's going wrong?

Did you end up using any of the old modular cables while setting up the new PSU? Sometimes mixing cables can cause issues like this.
Make sure all your connectors are securely plugged in on both ends. Sometimes it’s just a loose connection that causes the fans to behave this way.
Double-check your motherboard connections. It might seem simple, but I missed a connector when I installed mine and it led to similar issues. A quick visual check helped me sort it out.
SOLVED! I missed a motherboard connector, and it booted up just fine, thanks everyone!
