MY PC WON'T TURN ON FOR MORE THAN A SECOND

[Jimmy_B]

I recently built a new computer and when I try to boot it on I get nothing, the fans start spinning and the LED's turn on but nothing else happens. I don't yet have a graphics card but that shouldn't matter. It does this with and without RAM. I'm new to the PC building community and have little experience. PLEASE HELP URGENThttp://pcpartpicker.com/p/zjWZbv

MIGHT BE THE PSU 

[Praesi]

Do the Fans keep spinning or do they stop after a second?

[007agentHP]

THAT PSU. KILL IT WITH FIRE

WELL, THE GOOD THING IS YOU DON'T NEED TO LIGHT IT UP IT ALREADY LIGHTS UP BY HIM SELF...

 

 

ok  a little exagerated...

 

 

BUT NOT WITH RAIDMAX PSU'S

Never trust a brand always review the modell? That´s a good advice. The Corsair RMi´s are very good.

[Alurit]

even if not the psu the problem if you are in the us and have a bit a cash to dispose the 750w evga psu was for $44 with mail in rebate and it would worth it if you are planning to keep the psu for a while since capacitors age with use and that corsair uses cheapoo chinese capacitors

[Sportiva]

It's probably the psu. Also why so many fans?

CX.

the ax/hx/axi/rmi series is good. but the cs is terrible. i never said corsair, just cx

the only cx psu that is decent is cx 400 which is from seasonic

Not their Highend modells. Stop make such untrue statements.

I just agreed with the last said in the video.

They spin for less than a second and it looks like everything is on but then it all shuts off.

You are sure all cables and pins are where they belong?

I agree with Praesi, I got freaked out when the same thing happened to me. But it turns out I'd just forgotten to connect my motherboard with my power supply.

[DaltonM]

Yeah, make sure that you have 2 plugs at least in your mobo from you PSU. I remember forgetting to plug in the 4 pin power and freaking out for an hour.

 

It just turns on for a second, then back off.
