It won’t power on. Self test is working. I’ve connected the cpu1 to my motherboard cpu. VGA1 to my GPU. 24 pin to Mobo. Perif 1 is connected. And SATA 1 is connected.

    Things to do/try, not really in any particular order.
     
    1. Did your PC turn on okay before, or is this a new build?

    2. Is the standby power LED on the motherboard lit?

    3. Be sure the modular cables on the PSU end are fully plugged in, and the 24-pin connector on the motherboard too..Check for bent/damaged pins/terminals.

    4. Disconnect the PWRSW (Power Switch) connector from the motherboard front panel header (refer to your motherboard manual, if necessary) and momentarily jumper the two with a screwdriver, paper clip or something metal, and see if your PC turns on, as it should.

    5. Get an el cheapo digital voltmeter from somewhere (auto parts store, or wherever) and check all the voltages and grounds on the 24-pin motherboard connector from the PSU..The image in the link is as you are looking into the connector end..You'll need to turn the unit on with the EVGA Tester Tool or jumper the PS_ON terminal to a ground with a wire or paperclip..Or take it to a PC repair place and have it tested.
     
    6. Try another PSU, and use the cables from the other PSU.

    I've been upgrading my pc little by little over the past few months. The PSU I've got in there right now is a Corsair Rm650i. The PC works fine. I went to replace the PSU to the G3 and nothing. I'm pretty sure I plugged everything in in the right spots. When I built my PC a few years ago, the RM wouldn't power on unless I had everything on the top row. I was wondering if there's something finicky like this on the G3. 
     
    No the standby LED is not lit.

    I used the old cpu cable since it would be a pia to change it to the evga one. if that could be the problem I could definitely do that.

    Thank you very much. I really didn't think it would be an issue. I'll try it again with ALL of the EVGA cables.
