Posted June 30, 2021 Ensure PSU is switched on Ensure the power button the case is actually connected properly to the front panel header Ensure the 8-pin CPU power cable is plugged in Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy. If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

I followed a build guide on YouTube while doing it We need more details. Does it give an error message? Do any of the lights light up on the motherboard? Does it just not react at all? Also try reseating ram and cpu. Make sure the cpu pins aren't bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will say 115 or 240 or something similar. That is the voltage, if your country uses 240, ensure it is set to 240, if it uses 120, make sure it is set to 120(or 115) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll probably do a paper clip psu test to see if it works. Thank you for helping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this means that I have an issue with my motherboard. Thank you for all your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for helping The PSU has it built in so that is nothing to worry about, if the PSU works, and everything is connected properly, CHECK front panel header/power button header. Ensure they are seated correctly and in the correct location. You can short the two power button pins on the motherboard with a metal screwdriver or something. If it boots after shorting it, then the button wasn't connected properly or is broken. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi thank you very much for your response I have tried shorting the pins but there is still no response so I am going to return the motherboard back to Amazon and hopefully I should get be able to get my pc working again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
