HELP PLEASE

[JoshHT]

Hi, Im building a computer, I have:

 

Gigabyte Aorus Gaming wifi Z370 
Rosewill 750w 80+ semi modular
Intel i7 8700k
Radeon Vega 56 Sapphire
Seagate 3Tb HDD
Skynix 256gb SSD X 2
16gb Ram Viper 2400Mhz
Cooler Master 220mm water cooler

 

I haven’t bought a case yet Im just trying everything out of their boxes to see if they work. 
I installed everything and try to boot with a screwdriver. When I power on the switch on the psu I get a blink, everything on the bord light up for a second and go off (wich is normal). But when ai go ahead and power on the motherboard, I get nothing at all, just a red blink on a led. The fans won’t spin (even the one in the psu). No light whatsoever.

 

I decided to remove everything and leave only the power supply (24 and 8 pins) and the processor in the motherboard. I tried again, and same results. Red blink for less then a sec in the vga led and that’s it. The power supply and the motherboard are new, the cpu was working in another computer.

 

Im thinking if the problem was only the cpu, the motherboard would power on and let me know that right?

 

What did I do wrong?

How can I get it fixed?

 

I have uploaded pictures of what happens.

I think you in advance for you help!

wait did you just put a functioning motherboard on top of a carpet?

You have no RAM installed for one so it won't even POST. You need at least 1 stick of RAM installed.

The PSU fan will not spin by default unless it's under a certain load.

1. You have no RAM

2. Are you seriously testing this with your motherboard sitting on bare carpet?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!11111111eleven

There's a fun little acronym for describing the pain your pictures give me:

Put

On

 

Otherwise known as PYSOADCBBTIO

Really rolls off the tongue

Ok even with the RAM it does not POST

Just removed it

STOP NAOWWWW

 

Google Breadboarding, your doing it wrong, your going to hurt your stuff - Add RAM stick

 

You may be shorting it out by doing this wrong, which would cause the PSU to IMMEDIATLY power down.

Put it on top of the box, and put the box on top of a wooden table. There's a chance your motherboard has badly shorted itself and is borked already.

I put it on the motherboar’s cardboard

Excellent. Any different result? With ram in various slots?

 

Edit: you might need a cpu fan to turn on the PC because CPUs don't like being uncovered

Yes. I put the ram, removed the motherboard safely and carefully from the carpet and tried again. But as in the picture. I just get the red blink in the vga led

Do you have a motherboard speaker you can hook up? That will give you a beep code you can use to identify the problem.

 

If you haven't already, make sure the RAM is in the slot farthest from the CPU socket.

Make sure your ram is in the correct slots, and instal your cpu cooler. If that still doesn't work the do a CMOS reset.

what slots did you put it in  generally motherboards want it in 2 and 4

[Tristerin]

Not gonna lie, I wear socks and moonwalk while putting my PCs together...but this looks to be much...much...more unsafe.

A board will POST without a cooler. It's just a really bad idea to let it run any longer than it takes to get to the POST screen without having a cooler sitting on top of the CPU.

Just in case, where did you plug the RAM in? (what area of the motherboard, like is it south or east to the CPU)

[Homelessscootalo]

You need to put on a CPU cooler, you're cooking it just trying to start up.
