Yeah, yet again, it won't turn on. No clue what it is. Have NOT tried the paperclip, since I doubt that it's my second motherboard that broke.

Did you remember the 4 or 8-pin CPU power connector. That's easily forgotten.
Does it not turn on at all? Or do the fans spin, etc. but nothing shows up on the screen?

Fans not spinning. Not turning on at all.

Stupid I know but: are you sure your power cord is firmly plugged in, to a functional outlet, and firmly plugged into the psu, and the switch on the psu is on?

Try it with another PSU. If it doesn't power on with two motherboards, then that's probably the next most likely suspect.

This is the same PSU that I used on that Asus motherboard awhile back, so I know it works.

Everything that Shovenose asked about seems to check out.

Are you sure you've wired up the power button correctly?

I'll go check by reversing the position of it to go where I currently have reset. But currently, I do indeed believe it to be wired correctly.

Didn't that motherboard have the same problem?

Yeah.
