I've been trying to get my motherboard to power on, but no luck so far. I've followed some basic tutorials and consulted my manuals, yet nothing happens when I hit the power button. Right now, I only have the motherboard and power supply connected in an effort to simplify the setup. I'd really appreciate any insights! I've shared some pictures showing what's connected to help provide more context. Thanks in advance! <3

Also, make sure that your PSU switch is turned on. It might seem basic, but it's easy to overlook.
Double-check the cable connections. You should have a CPU power cable, usually marked as CPU or EPS, and it needs to be different from the PCIe cables. The PCIe ones are marked for GPU use and could cause issues if used correctly in the motherboard. Definitely double-check that!
It sounds like you might have connected the wrong power cable to the motherboard. Make sure you're using a 4+4 or solid 8-pin cable labeled for CPU power. If you're using a PCI-E cable meant for your GPU, you'll need to switch that out as the pin configurations are different and won't work properly.
