Dang! Best of luck getting it sorted. You might be able to return he mobo as defective if it was nothing you did to cause it.

So, did you find the problem? :)

If there isn't a single hint of life it does sound like PSU. If something is defective and going to die, then it's liable to do it sooner rather than later, brand new or not. Unlikely from Seasonic but these things happen.

Could be motherboard. Could also be something silly like the front panel header for the power switch came off!

Not applicable if you are US, but if you are in a country that has individually fused plugs, like the UK, then check the fuse in the power cable or use a different one.

Good luck!

I also got "Pattern on the beach towel is wavy lines rather than straight lines" but now I'm not certain it isn't just image compression artifacts.

This is great, honestly.

If you go back to antiquity, education was about philosophy. It was about learning how to observe, and think critically, and see the world for what it is.

And then in modern times, education became about memorisation - learning facts and figures and how to do this and that. And that way of teaching and learning just doesn't fit any longer with what our digital age has become.

In my opinion, we are heavily overdue for a revamp of what education should be, and what skills are most important to society in this post-truth world. Critical thinking is an important foundation to real knowledge that we don't teach enough.

For you, maybe it was.

The point of good presentation and design cues is that they can make information instantly clear to almost everyone, no matter if their brain is the size of TON 618, or not.

The problem is the layout.

It needs horizontal dividing lines to show that the bodies are presented in pairs at the same scale.

When you first look at it, it seems like all six are in one picture at the same scale, then you start noticing things appearing twice, and think "hang on that's not right" and work it out, but just two lines would have solved it immediately.

Design, people! Design!

My grandmother was into collecting thimbles, when she was still alive.

As a child, whenever I went away somewhere on a trip with my parents and we saw a souvenir thimble, I'd always want to get it for her.

Looking back as an adult, I'm quite sure now that she didn't really care that much about the thimbles at all, especially towards the end. What she really cared about was the connection it created, and the relationship with her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

It's nice to know what someone likes, and to think of them when you see it. And every time I saw thimbles I thought of her.

In a modern context I have a friend who likes frogs, and every time I see a random frog plush or weird frog toothbrush holder or whatever it is I always think of him and want to get it for him.

Fads change but I think the reason for having them stays the same. It's nice to be into something, and for other people to know you're into it, too :)
