HELP PLEASE

Tried all the ram slots. Same thing

Pop out the CMOS battery, then walk away for a minute. When you come back, put the CMOS battery back into place and try booting up with the RAM in the furthest slot. If it still doesn't work, install a GPU and hook the display into that, then try to boot again.

 

If you can just set your CPU cooler on top without shorting anything, do so and gently press it down when you try to POST. It'll help prevent cookage of your CPU from repeated attempts.

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

East

East

Alright good, the slots south of the CPU are PCIe and where you plug your GPU (or other PCIe cards) in lol

Lolll Im really new to this but I know where each piece go. I think that’s a start. Only didn’t know I shouldn’t just put it on the carpet

Can’t even get it to POST so...

Computer shuts down before it can even get there...

[AmpedUpDad]

Put the freaking cpu cooler on it. Jeez.

I guess yes

that can kill anything.

Carpet is static electric hell.

 

Do not do that...

 

That's by the way one of the reasons I threw out the Carpet in my room.

Perhaps due to comments such as these:

 

 

OP might've thought "nah its prob fine"

 

TBH - the first time I saw my brother (YEARS ago) "yank" around components I was like "WTF ARE YOU DOING ITS SO SENSITIVE"

 

20 years or so later - Wool socks, moonwalk, and...discharge your static, because its science.    I think a lot of the issues is people get confident in something they have no training in, because they were able to read a few words on a webpage.

 

I know why people don't build PC's - because even when you do everything right something can go wrong.  Difference is I can usually troubleshoot all of my own stuff.

So just to make sure:

1. You've tried booting with RAM in different slots

2. You've tried booting with and without a GPU

3. You've reset CMOS

4. You tried installing a cooler (or at least holding it on top of the CPU while you power on)

 

And nothing has gotten you to the POST screen at all? Wait for the mobo speaker to arrive before calling it, just in case it throws you an obvious code, but at this point my money is on your board (and possibly your CPU) being a RIP situation.

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

I’ve built mine on beds and carpets with socks and all that Jazz, but I never turned them on like that

Okay I will wait for then

This is a cursed thread.

 

Maybe you screwed your mobo up by putting it on the carpet. Maybe it's a bad mobo. Maybe some other component is bad.

 

Whatever the case, if it's under warranty, I'd just take it to the shop you bought it from and explain the problem to them.

 

Just don't tell them you put it on the carpet. Pretend like you did everything perfectly. With a little luck, they'll replace your components or troubleshoot the problem themselves.

Hi again! So I bought a new cpu in best buy and Corsair RAM (16gb 3200mhz with rgb), I also bought the speaker for the motherboard. I installed everything and tried to power it on. The only difference I get now is the lights on the RAMs. 

Any thoughts?

So of the components currently in your case, what remains from your original pre-carpet incident setup?

The motherboard, power supply, storage disks

So the motherboard that was sitting on carpet as it ran is still in your case?!
