I just upgraded my pc, very excited about it. Got new RAM, MOBO, CPU Cooler, Case, PSU. So i got it all installed everything plugged in. Then when i went to plug it in it turned on & off & on & off and then stayed on. So restarted 2 times before staying on.. but it doesn’t give me a display, it’s just a black screen with everything powered on and spinning. I made sure the PSU cables were plugged in & also took the CMOS batter out for 5 min & then put it back in. Still nothing.. any ideas or solutions!?

Here are some pictures, also not mentioned above i got a new HDD & SSD. Everything is plugged into its “label” on the PSU both cpu pins top left, cpu fan to Cpu_FAN, 24 pin in, changed PCIE cables to GPU, Sata to SSD(what i want to install windows on) all case pins in bottom right correct, sys fans good. I just cannot get it to give me any type of signal from the motherboard or the GPU.

I've seen instances where upon the power cable being inserted into the power supply the system turned on by its self, after a power supply swap it stopped doing that. I can't say for certain that is what is happening with your system however it is a possibility. If you still have your old power supply, it still works well and is not to low wattage to use with the new components, if so you could un-plug your graphics card and plug your display into the motherboards video out. (Only works if you CPU has the capability to output video) Doing this may lower the voltage requirements enough that your old PSU can be used to test. Let me know how it goes!

Took out the GPU & just tried to start it like that. Nothing from the MOBO. Did the PSU ‘
