Hello Everyone!

So I've built my first PC yesterday

Specs: 

CPU: i5 4690k

Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO

Mobo:MSI Z97-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150

RAM:G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)

HDD:Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

GPU:MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB 

CASE: Define R4

PSU:SeaSonic 620W ATX12V / EPS12V

 

Had my friends dad help me with the building of the PC

Took a while and we went to turn it on

Nothing.

Again, we tried

Nothing.

We checked the wiring 4-5 times

What do I do :(?

You can check the motherboard, to see if the lights turn on

1 make sure all the cables are plugged in correctly

 

2 if they arent plug them in if they are check the ram is seated right

 

3 make sure the power button is plugged in to the right port on the motherboard consult the manual tp find the correct one 

 

4 make sure the psu is turned on at the back 

 

5 a part maybe faulty if nothing is happening right now so you may need to adress the part that is faulty if nothing is turning on it is most likely the psu or motherboard

PSU Switch?

EDIT: ya beat me to it.

Anywho, in my experience I have found that, if all cables are connected properly, the PSU or motherboard are the ones responsible for faiulre to power on. With any other component, the mobo will just beep and fail to boot.

Rule with your heart,

And live with your conscience.
