First build hookup. nothing happening

hahadead7777
Go to solution Solved by Slottr,

You have to short the front panel power pins on the motherboard to turn it on, the power supply just provides the machine power, but doesnt actually turn it on via the button

I just got my pc parts in the mail excluding my case that's a few days away but I wanted to hook everything up to a monitor to at least see it boot. I currently have my graphics card, cpu, cpu fan, 1 memory stick, 1 sata hard drive, and the power box connected but turning on the power box does nothing. Am I not supposed to get fan spin in this situation without jump starting the motherboard? As in without a case. I have replugged all power sources

 

cpu fan is in cpu fan 1

graphics card is in pcie 2 since it's the first one that size. It's also connected to the power box

cpu is in it's grooves and latched in

memory stick is in first slot. it fought me but it's latched in

Sata drive is plugged into the power box and mother board 

The power box is connected to the mother board in 2 places

I have tried using a jump start once from the bottom of this picture labled "CLRCMOs1" and it is the only thing that looks like a jump startable area

Those arent the right pins. The ones you'll want are probably on the bottom right labeled under F_PANEL or something similar.

 

Then reference the manual to see which pins to short, or just use trial and error

Wow thank you. turns out I was poking the right part at one point but only half of it so now I have fan spin :) now I just gotta setup output and see how that goes. again thanks

???you should do more research.

FIRST THAT tHiNg is called s power supply or psu not box.

also no that switch on the psu does not boot the pc it is just the main power switch. You need to short the two pins where the power button is connected to. Is should say “pwr_sw” or something on the motherboard.

also the cpu is in a socket not groove

Noooooo that clears the cmos data.

look for the bunch of pins where the buttons are connected to

Not everyone who's building a pc needs to know the lingo

 

I have plenty of friends of mine who have built pc's but don't know jack shit about anything techy- Never forced em to learn. If they can get from A to B fine, then let em be

Sorry

but people who have never build a pc should at least know the reason the boot button is there and why don’t pcs boot immediately when plugged in. I thought everyone should at least have certain experiences on USING them

I thought you at least get fan spin from the power suppy itself. I'm still trying to learn the lingo but most of what I know is from what I've seen on the 3 computer channels I watch
