I just connected my computer, but there's no sign of life! I've ensured that the power is connected to the motherboard and the CPU. What could I be missing?

Have you checked if the power switch on your case is turned on? I know that can be easy to overlook when you're setting things up.
Sounds like you might have missed flipping the power switch on the PSU! I once did that too and it had me scratching my head for a while. If the fans are spinning but the DRAM light is red, that could point to a RAM issue. Try reseating the RAM sticks and see if that helps.
It could be something as simple as the power switch on your power supply not being flipped on. Double-check that first since it’s a common oversight. Also, ensure that all your connections are secure.
