I have a Minisforum 795s7 that I swapped into a different case and new power supply. Now when I push the power button the power led lights up and all the fans bump forward a bit but don't spin.
I have a usb display and it powers up but does not display anything. Nothing on the main display, no power up or anything.
No beeps and there's no post lights on the motherboard. I have let it sit for a few minutes incase it were the ram configuring itself and nothing.
No idea why it's not booting up???
 
Are you sure you've connected everything properly? All the motherboard power cables? The GPU power cables? And like Pendragon mentioned since the power supply is the only new component there's a slight chance it could be faulty swap in the known working power supply to quickly troubleshoot that option out
 
I put everything back in the old case and old PSU and everything is working. I will try and hook up the new PSU and see if it works in the old case.
I am very sure everything was hooked up correctly I am leaning towards the PSU being bad sense the fans wouldn't spin and only bumped forward a few degrees.

[edit] The new PSU did the same thing with the computer in the old case, so I guess I am going to have to get another PSU.

Thanks for the quick responses!!!!

You got off easy. Glad it's a simple problem though, and hopefully you can just return that dud new PSU. Or RMA it if not.

Yeah I do think I got off easy. At first I thought I had broken something in the swap. I didn't suspect the PSU as I had only unboxed it today. I was fearing I had damaged the motherboard, that would have cost me over $450 to replace.

I bought the PSU in October from Amazon so the return window has passed. I will look into RMAing it tomorrow, however, I bought a new one and it will be here tomorrow morning between 4-8am. Got to love Amazon and there next day shipping.
 
Yes! it is working. Thanks again for the help and the jokes, lol.
Now for some cable management :(
