PC won't start (urgent)

this 115v is no where to be found on my psu

Even if the CPU is not in the board you should still have fans when you power the board on. We’re not even getting fans. I still don’t know if the fans twitch at all or if op has connected the power switch correctly.

the fans do absolutely nothing, and am 99% sure cables are plugged in correctly

You said you powered the PSU on, assuming you either used a PSU tester or manually jumpered the pins on the 24pin Mobo connector. And you tried the jumper trick I told you to try? If your PSU did work but the board won’t power up then you probably have a DOA board.
