Posted March 23, 2020 This is my first build and I have run into some problems... My motherboard (B450 Tomahawk Max) won't light up fans won't start nothing... I really don't know what is going on and it really sucks. I have tested the power supply which is a Corsair CX500M, which should be compatible and it works fine. But when I put it into the motherboardboard nothing happens, the fan on the power supply won't spin either. I don't know if there is a compatibility issue, so I have listed the part below. All the parts but the GPU are brand new. CPU - Ryzen 5 3600 GPU -EVGA GEFORCE RTX 2060 ultra Cooler - Wraith Cooler included with CPU Motherboard - B450 tomahawk max Ram - 2x8gb Corsair Vengeance LPX SSD - intel series 660p 512 gb IMG_1108.3gp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both plugged in correctly, I have the 24 in the 24 slot and the CPU cord is in CPU power 1. Thanks for trying to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
