Just finished assembling my first custom build and now it's not booting up.

No beeps, no spinning fans nothing.

I tried removing the RAM but still nothing.

The Motherboard does get the power from the PSU since I checked with a tester at the power switch.(it lighted up)

Please help.

Do you have the front panel power switch connected to the mobo?

Seems like its not even powering on, and since the board has power, the power switch is likely the issue

helped building up the CPU Overclocking Database and GPU Overclocking Database, check them out ;)

take everything out of the motherboard and graphics cards in terms of power and then grab a paper clip.

 

Then, (ensuring the PSU is off), connect the green pin on the 24-pin to any of the black pins. If your power supply leads have no colour, then you can find pinouts on Google.

 

This will test is it's a PSU problem and assumes you assembled your PC properly.

 

Oh yeah, you can also bridge your power switch by using a screwdriver if you anted to test the power button.

I did this, the PSU fan didn't turn on.

What PSU do you have?

 

Also, did anything else turn on (ie: fans, optical drive or HDD)?

 

Nopes, nothing. Not even the fans. I also tried shorting the green and black wire.

I guess it's time to send the power supply back then for a new one

 

Yeah, I called up the dealer. He said to call back on Monday.

 

Btw, is there any chance that motherboard or CPU could be damaged due to faulty PSU? I'm just worried.

Maybe, but don't worry, it will prob be fine to be honest.
