My biggest fears are damaging the mobo from static shock (although I tried to be careful and grounded myself when I could. Also I had to apply bits of pressure here and there for the 24 pin cable and other parts which I fear may have damaged the mobo. The PC will not turn on at all, no fans are spinning, no sounds, no lights. I'm pretty sure I have the 24 pin cable in as much as I could and the 8pin is perfectly.
