Something is wrong with the board for sure, if it doesn't light up when plugged in, but who can say what in particular without "sniffing" the board ?

Did you try a different psu with minimum load possible (mean single HDD/ssd, integrated graphics/low card, no pci/other modules whatsoever, single ram stick)?

I was so @%$#ed off that I was not thinking things through. I had just ran benchmarks on my GTX 1080 and copied the results, I then put in the massive RTX 470ti and at first it did not take, but after a few tries it was online. So I did a fresh install and got drivers loaded and decided to put the case upright, so I turned it off, and then tried turn it back on when I put it on the computer cart to run benchmarks. As excited as I was to see the thing perform, you can imagine how really @%$#ed off I was when I tried turning the thing on 50 or more times.

You can imagine a guy that bought a 3dfx Voodoo 5 back when is was a fortune, I think it was over $400.00, and that was an insane amount of money to upgrade my crappy Diamond generic card with S3 Graphic. I Was almost as excited as buying the Geforce II, upgrading then from the TNT II I had. I was upgrading a GTX 1080 to a RTX 4070ti monster that takes 3 slots and was 4 generations of video cards apart!

This did give me the excuse to upgrade my Core i7 9700k, which is cool  in the long run I suppose, Just had to wait about a year or so. Also the 9700k would have been a bottleneck with a RTX 470ti anyway.

BTW, thank you for replying to my post, which I suppose got a bit ridiculous now.
