U cfm u plug all cables correctly? Try w/o gpu and use your OS disk nia, be it ssd or hdd. If u have both, den plug in the ssd nia, and not the hdd yet.

See if can boot up or not.

Try with just ssd plug in.

Solved!

Tried my luck plugging in the power plug into the wall outlet directly & it starts! :s11:

Plug back into the extension block, doesnt start. Unplug my powerline then it starts. Funny leh, maybe the powerline is the faulty thing all this while. I do remember previous motherboard started showing usb power surge warning before it wont start at all

Throw away your extension plug liao... potential hazard for other devices.
