PC not turning on, no fans spinning, but rgb ram turns on

[SadBoiElijah]

I just built my first PC. The monitor is black, the fans stay idle, but the RGB on the RAM turns on. Help!

 

Specs: 

Ryzen 5 3600

EVGA SC GTX 760

TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz

EVGA  600 BQ power supply

GIGABYTE B450M DS3H V2 mobo 

Western Digital Velociraptor 1TB 10K RPM SATA III 2.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive

Western Digital PC SN520 128GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD

Dunno what debug code system that board uses (generally lights beep codes or digital readout) but how that thing behaves will tell people a lot

Have you consulted the pinned thread on how to respond to a no-POST situation?

Then the machine never started up. Can be a couple reasons for that.  There was one of these yesterday and the guy said he exchanged the motherboard and everything was fine after that.  My suspicion was it was an old bios, but if you can’t start the machine there’s rarely a good home fix for that.

I thought about that and it did come with a disk that is supposedly for the bios, but how would i use that since i cant hook up a disk reader without the pc starting

As suggested, there's a good chance your board doesn't support the ryzen 3000 cpu out of box, and would need a bios update.

 

You can't do this unless you have an old ryzen chip, or bios flashback on the mobo.

 

Usually the mobo box will list if it's ryzen 3000 ready or not.

Did you plug in ALL the CPU power connectors?

 

Did you plugin ALL the GPU power connectors?

 

I assembled a PC yesterday, and it (lacked any RGB other than the GPU, which wasn't installed yet) and it did the same thing because I only plugged in the two of the three CPU (8+4) 4x4 pin's. But this is an Intel system, and your's is a Ryzen, so the power requirements might be different.

 

My suggestion here, is find another GPU if you still can't get anything to display. It's very possible there is a UEFI compatibility issue with the GPU, but I've only ever run into this on Dell systems, in which the PCIe GPU has to be initialized first from the BIOS.

 

You don't need a new GPU, just something of a newer generation to eliminate that as a possibility. In general, NO POST, but lights/fans are on, is usually a GPU failure of some sort, though doesn't mean the GPU is dead, just the UEFI/BIOS needs to be set to CSM to use it.

Looked through the gigabyte page looking for  bios update stuff.  Didn’t see any.  Might be wrong though https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-V2-rev-10#kf

 

it says the new boards are updated for 5xxx stuff.  You might not have gotten a newly made one though.  B450 has been around for a while. It’s older that ryzen 3xxx, though not by a whole lot.  It’s also possible that the issue isn’t on the motherboard but the video card and that is what needs to be updated.  Got to have a video to update though and if you’ve only got the one card it could be a problem even finding out.

Are there any debug lights on this motherboard? You shall see them on the right hand side of motherboard.

Yes it does. It says it on the box.

Make sure your display cable is plugged into the GPU and not the motherboard.

 

That's an easy mistake to make.

I dont have another card, but i guess i could buy a dirt cheap gt smth

[SadBoiElijah]

Did that, but still my pc wont do anything. Also what is the difference anyway?

Borrowing one also works.  You only need it for a few minutes. Do you live near a b&m microcenter?

Your cpu doesn't have onboard graphics and so plugging into the mobo display connector won't ever give you an image.

No, there is no micro center near me. I wish. Also no, I actually bought my friend's old GPU, and it's the one I'm using rn. He's the only one I know that is into pc's.

Ok
