    New pc not turning on.

    You need to take the parts, to a computer shop, and have them tested. I have run out of clues, without having the rig in front of me.

    Turn on the PSU and touch the power switch connector pins as per Philpower's diagram.What happens. Any lights?

    As Gus suggested, if the 8 pin and 24pin are clicked right home, then chances are you have a Standoff/ riser in the wrong place and shorting out both Motherboards.. Even a screw left under the Mobo can cause a short. As suggested by other Techies which suggested hooking up outside the case, you...

    Is the 12v motherboard plug at the top of the board, getting 12v from the Power Supply?

    Your Welcome.:) Just had a look at your Speccy. I would like to see the CPU running cooler. That temp, is that on idle, or heavy load? Have you installed latest USB drivers from Asrock, and not W10 generics? Dougie

    Hi. Can take a while to pinpoint what's causing your issue. Try this fix and see if it helps.

    Flashing on and off at startup

    The buyer has screwed something.Hard to tell without it in front of me. Get it back off the buyer and look at it, is my advice.
