Clearing the CMOS didn't work. I'll rebuild it AGAINNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ground yourself this time to be sure. Even if you dont break it yet with static electricity you can still do it.

Will do

[Weaster007]

so did you get it to work again?

If you were getting noticeable shocks when you were touching both the case and the motherboard, I think it's safe to say you killed it...

I would agree, so i hope this year your parents are so kind to put a new PC under the Christmas tree for you @CompleteNoobAtComputerHALP.

Hi, sorry for not being online for a while, i have updates:

After resetting the CMOS loads of times and then plugging the motherboard in by itself, it powered on, i plugged my cpu in using what i thought was the correct cable and it wouldn't boot again so am i safe to assume that my power cable for the CPU is wrong? i have a 4 pin and a 6 pin connector from the PSU.

Thanks for your time!

(If you could give me direct instructions on how to build the computer by scratch i would extremely grateful and would add extra pictures of whatever you need to help!)

just so people know most times touching any think metal will get rid of the static charge I have built pc's and never worn  the braclet and most people I know don't wear them either, people I know have been building them for years and never wore one, scaring people with the static thing is wrong

Um no its not, its a proven fact the idea that sensitive components can be damaged by dismissing it would be where the fault is just because it has not happened to all the "master builders" on here, it can and does happen nothing wrong with taking safety first. That being said its unknown if that is the op's issue or not.

It used to happen, not so much now as the boards are better at dealing with it, it up to each person to decide if they want to wear one but me I don't think there worth the hassle, I could walk down the street and get shot  does that mean I should always wear a bullet proof vest just in case ? No I wouldn't but like I said if you or OP are worried about static Then you wear one, anyway back on to topic I agree that o don't think it's the static issue, seems like a connection or power issue maybe?

Hi thanks for the feedback, please could we just fix the problem? I'm not intending to be ratty, but you lot are rguing about something I wasn't aware of. I wouldn't like to.go to the shop to get it fixed, can someone tell me what wires go to where on the asrock 970 extreme motherboard please, including wires for the case, graphics card and processor.

Thanks loads!

Why don't you start helping yourself a bit here it sounds like you don't want to do any research like how bout you download the manual for your mobo for starters people can't tell you where to plug anything in again there are literally thousands of build videos that were produced for folks like you, try it I think you'll find what your looking for. Go to a library if you don't have another system available

your motherboard needs a 24pin connection and a 8 pin connection I believe

to quote my first boss in a computer business:"RTFM"(read the fucking manual) 

[Quarant-ime to game]

Hi, I'm back again. I do seriously agree with you about the manual thing but unfortunately I do not have lots of devices to conduct PC research. My laptop was recently  sold and my computer obviously broken so getting online is pretty difficult. I haven't got a phone at the moment and my amazon fire tv stick doesn't let me sign in to reply, I can see your messages but can't respond. This makes it increasingly difficult to follow you instructions about researching. I wasn't looking for an easy way, just was hoping someone else had had the problem and had managed to fix it.

 

Anyway. .. My update is that I have managed to make the motherboard start up with everything but the cpu plugged in, when I plug one of that he two leads that fit the cpu (one of the leads has a 4-hole thing and the other a 6 hole thing) the motherboard dies and doesn't turn on again until I have unplugged it again and reset the CMOS. The power supply doesn't have many other connectors. If it helps the processor is a fx 6300.

Also I would read the , manual if it would of come with one and in England, libraries don't have that sort of reading material.

Hope this was more helpful than the last message.

What psu do you have according to the photo of your board you need an 8 pin connector for the cpu 4 and 6 will not work alone you must have an 8 pin connector for the cpu these connectors often are split with grooves in them so you can lock them together in different configuration check the 6 pin connector and confirm if it has a split in it you need to combine the 2 connectors to make an 8 pin connector

[Quarant-ime to game]

I'll have a look when I get back, just confused at how it was connected before I took it apart then?

Neither of them can split up to form one

[Salacious B Crum]

If you do not have an option for an 8 pin connector then you will need to upgrade your psu or mod one but if your a greenhorn I would not go that route but it appears that is you problem you need to have an 8 pin cpu connector it will never run without it. They may make an adapter but if they do I'm not aware of one maybe someone else will chime in on that idea

[Quarant-ime to game]

Hi, the problem I have with this is that somehow the computer shop got it running without a different wire, I am very aware now that I need to take photos and label where each thing came from. I'll take a picture of all of the wires I have from the PSU:

[Quarant-ime to game]

I have multiple of the ones with the the four metal pins in them, can they be used somehow?

[Salacious B Crum]

I don't know how as if you do not have an 8 pin atx connector you're not going anywhere with this did you remove any adapters that you're not showing us because I see no way to make an 8 pin out of what you're showing here. Someone may correct me here but I don't see it working.

[Quarant-ime to game]

That's what I have been thinking, I have ordered an adapter off amazon now and waiting for it to come

[SymbioTech]

In some cases, a 4 pin connector will work in an 8 pin slot.Its not recommended as it can draw too much current and melt the connector.. Take a look at the linked page about 3/4 page down http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atx12v4
