My brother purchased all of the parts for his new gaming PC separately so that he could bring them to a friend to build it. He built it, and although all of the parts looked to be fitted in correctly and the wiring from the motherboard correctly aswell, but when he put in the power lead to start the PC up the power supply is not turning on even though the switch is on when the power button to the PC is pressed. My friend believes it may be an expected wiring problem that will take some time to spot but does anyone else have any ideas on what might be wrong?
