Pc wont turn on. I think it may be the LED's and the small wires. PLZ help

Justin Meyer

Ok so this is a new build im working on, my specs are in the description below and i think my problem may be with the power LED's so i took some pictures to see if you guys could help me out. So here are some pictures of my general pc insides and what i have connected, my graphics card and cpu cooler are coming in about an hour however for now im trying to get my pc to just post and turn on. Anyways theres a pic of what the LED layout is. the right side of the manual is basically the bottom of the mobo and theres another picture of me showing you all of the LED wires i have. Than the last pic is me showing you that if i use a screwdriver to short the board i can get a light to come on. Now if you look at the manual i have all of those wires fitting into the JFP1 slot and i dont have and wires going into the JFP2 area. Should i have wires going into the JFP2 area and which ones. Also if i turn the power supply of and than back on i can get everything to turn on and all the fans spin for about 1/2 second and than it stops. And the posting number thing flashes 2 0's so it isnt posting and code and than everything turns off.

hmm this could be the motherboard saying it doesnt like somthing. take all your components out and try with, Motherboard, 1 stick of ram and the cpu and cooler. no HDD Or Gpu.

Ok, sorry for responding late to anyone that was following or looking at this post wondering what happened. Anyways basically i took everything out of the case to test it and it turned on so i put it back in and it wouldnt turn on so i figured it must have been something being shorted out and i was right. Long story short i ended up puting in all 8 motherboard standoffs and it worked and now im playing on my pc with friends and its great. Thank you to anyone who was following this to help me out.
