Hello, this is my first time building a computer. I have the motherboard sitting on a cardboard box with the CPU, CPU fan, RAM, and power supply plugged in. Both the 24 pin and 4x4atx cables from the PSU are plugged into the motherboard. I have tried with and without ram. A VGA cable is plugged into the monitor from the motherboard ( no separate video card) And the small speaker with 4 pins in plugged in. I turn on the PSU and try to short the power pin by touching it with a screwdriver but nothing happens at all. I followed the newegg tutorial on building pc's online. The only thing i am skeptical of is the PSU did not come with a power cord, i purchased a separate one from best buy, it is a Dynex AC power cord replacement. I searched online and couldn't find anything to solve my problem, any ideas? Here is the hardware :
