I3 10100F

16GB of DDR 4 ram

Asus prime H510M-E (no onboard lights)

Is the power switch on the back of the PSU on?

Run down your list of cables and ensure that not only are they plugged in, but they are FIRMLY plugged in.

- Motherboard
- The smaller motherboard power connection
- GPU
- Any cables to drives.

Triple check your power cord from wall to PC, and the power socket.


Unplug ALL usb devices, including mouse and keyboard and any wireless device recievers.

Remove *everything* from the case and build the most basic setup you can on a cardboard box and see if you can start/boot.
