Is it empty connector supposed to be like that?
>>
>>59791775

yes that's normal also file down your nails
>>
>>59791775
Well there's your problem. Is there a wire coming out behind it?
>>
>>59791662
Make sure the part of the screwdriver you're touching with is conductive. Only the tip of the set I use are.

do the paper clip test on your PSU

Maybe i am touching thewrong pins?

Many motherboards have two power connections, do you have both of them connected? The second one may be 4-pin or 8-pin.
>>
>>59791884

>>
>>59791802

is the psu switch on?
are those ez debug LED lights turning on at all?
is it plugged in?

either your psu is completely dead or the motherboard is

do you have a way to test the psu?

Modular PSU? Check if the cables are inserted correctly PSU side. And check the power cables and the switch

Do any of those leds come on or is it completely unresponsive?
>>
>>59792038
>thermaltake psu
probably dead psu
>>
I was building a PC a couple years ago, I had everything connected but it just wouldnt post. I took everything back to the shop and he said the mobo was DOA

they replaced it for me and within a couple weeks I had a working computer

You do realize that you have to connect the two pins with the screwdriver in order to start the computer?... not just touch one pin...?

Also check the manual to make sure you're bridging the right pins
>>
>>59791662
You need to use a powered screwdriver.
>>
>>59792352
Welp, my bad... didn't read the thread and apparently you're connecting the right pins horizontally as the manual states.
>>
Can't see anything wrong with how it's set up... in a last ditch effort maybe try a different medium to bridge the pins? Perhaps the screwdriver is chrome plated/painted?
>>
>>59792430
I just tried a screwdriver which is used to test if there is electricity and it doesnt work either :(
>>
test the power supply separately

BUT your pins are wrong >>59791688

The jumper for power is these two pins. Pic related

Try re seating the ram better, those new ddr4 slots are terrible
>>
this happened to me once

your psu->mobo cable isnt plugged in all the way. check both.

i know right now you're like "no im sure i pushed it as hard as i could" but this is 100% the problem, push it in until you hear an audible click. if you only hear a slight click or a quiet one then unplug it and try again, being sure that you're inserting it directly in and not at an angle.
>>
>>59794268
Probably this. People who aren't used to building PCs are really scared to use force the first time around.

Your mobo can bend a little, don't be scared OP.
>>
>>59791662
Try suck-starting a shotgun.
>>
>>59794316

black poz dicks are much easier to find and suck.
>>
>>59792009
>ram in the wrong socket
>antistatic bag under the motherboard
>AM4 MB for an intel CPU
I know this is a troll thread, but come on, make some efforts at least.
>>
>>59793108
It actually depends on the motherboard
>>
Is OP dumb, everyone is telling him to test the PSU

test the PSU dummy,
