First time builder help - I connected the motherboard, processor, RAM, video card. I hooked up the monitor, mouse and keyboard. I connected the 8-pin and 24-pin on the MoBo to the power supply.
When I flip the switch for the Power Supply, nothing happens - no sounds, no lights. I'm connected to a power strip and I'm running my monitor off the same strip, so it seems to have power.
Is there something I should check before I chalk it up to a bad PSU?
