My computer won't start. First EVER build :(

[skaran27]

Guys my computer won't start and I made the mistake of plugging and installing everything first. Here is my question, I installed the 24 pin connector and the 12v power at the top of the motherboard. I made sure I connected all the power and led pins correctly installed my gpu correctly what could be the problem any suggestions?

 

Here's some pictures: http://imgur.com/0VKBs6Z,fqImWNv,EJ2bW8J,2DestCi ---------This shows the 12v cable plugged in at top of the motherboard.

Nothing turns on no fans no nothing what could be the problem?

Is there a way to test if my PSU is the problem? Or can I test the PSU and how? Its a AX860 Watt Power Supply

[MegaDave91]

Is the switch on the powersupply turned on?

[WoodenMarker]

Make sure the switch at the power supply is turned on.

Make sure the pins for the power switch are fully inserted.

Ok did you use CPU power cable to the 8 pin cpu instead of PCI 8 pin

I'll start off by asking some simple troubleshooting questions

-Does the computer not even turn on? (No fans spinning, no noise etc)

-what are the specs of the build?

-Is there a power switch on the  Motherboard?

-Do any fans spin when you push the button?

Yes it is.

It is.

Yes, I plugged in the CPU power cable where it says CPU and to the PCI

Does not turn on at all. No power, no fans. There is a power switch on motherboard when I hit it nothing happens. Here are the specs.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3CTPE

Have you tried turning it on with the Motherboard outside the case with only CPU and RAM connected? (PSU plugged in)

no thats the thing I installed the CPU cooler and everything I want to see if I can find the problem before I have to do that. Plus this CPU doesn't come with a stock cooler so that would be hard.

Nice first build.. DAMMNN

 

Well the only think I can think of that others haven't mentioned... is your power supply connected to a power source...?

Yes it is, it is so sad seeing no lights come on at all or fans spin after I DID ALL THAT. TOOK ME FOREVER. I re-plugged everything in. i just have no idea ..I didn't bother to plug in the harddrive or the ssds yet because the main stuff isn't even working yet..

Not much else we can tell ya other than perhaps a DOA part (hope it's not that because that's a PITA) or being there in person.

 

OP, edit your first post saying absolutely nothing turns on.

[WyvernAbstracts]

do the fans powerup? if not plug them directly to psu, if they still don't work dead psu, if they work dead mobo.

[Thebman712]

you can always rma parts and you should get no cost replacements
