when he system fan connector is disconnected from the motherboard it boots up fine and all of the fans spin.

heres the best photo I can get of the front panel connectors

I've just opened up the case and tried turning it on. I get some flashes of light from the graphics card and the CPU fan flickers a bit but then stops

I've attached a speaker directly to the motherboard and tried again to see if it is giving out an error code but getting nothing from the speaker

I have and all of them are correct

Hi so I've recently built my first PC and when I try to power it on it wont turn on. The power light turns on but none of the fans spin up and I don't get anything on the display. I think I Might have shorted a component but don't have any spare parts to test. I have checked and re-checked all of the connectors and they all seem to be fine. Any help would be awesome. EDIT: Components are: AMD Athlon X4 860K Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-HD2 Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 460

Ok it turns out that all that was needed was a bit of harder pushing.

heres a video of me trying to plug it in. how far I insert it is how far it will go, and it is definitely aligned correctly. IMG_1702[2].MOV

here you go. thought this would be a common issue so didn't think they were necessary

Hi I'm doing my first PC build and the SATA power cable won't plug into my hard drive. I've checked and re-checked the orientation but it just wont go in. Are they just really hard to plug in or am I doing something wrong?

So. I did a hard reset on start up. Now my computer won't post. I would put up full specs but can't really access them and haven't written them down, so here's what I can remember: AMD A4-5300 APU, 16GB ram, MSI FM2-A75MA-P33. I realised right after I done it how stupid it was, so what has happened and is it fixable? Thanks P.S. I'm a bit of a pc noob so simple terms please P.P.S Its not a new build, been using for a year or two now.
