New Build won't Post

[guthix71]

Building a PC for my dad, and it will not post.

Part list - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BwzbMp

I have assembled the motherboard outside the case, on the motherboard box, and plugged in the RAM, cpu, cup heatsink, and 24 pin power connector. Also, I plugged in the front power connector into the corresponding pins on the motherboard. I hit the power button and the cpu fan spins for a quarter revolution then stops, but the psu fan spins for about 10-15 seconds then stops. I tried powering it on by shroting the two pins but it doesn't work. The cpu is in right. I have tried different sticks of ram in each dimm. I have hit the coms reset button, but I do not know if I have to just hit it or hold it down. Should I take out the battery and switch to dvi or vga instead of hdmi? Please help, hopefully the motherboard or cpu are not dead.

Did you plug in the 4+4 pins power cable for the CPU?

Consult your manual on the power and reset pin locations. Make sure they are exactly as written.

I don't think he did, check the photo, i might be blind .

The 4x4 cpu power connector is on the 24 pin I shall post picture.

Plug the 4pin power cable from the PSU in this slot:

Where can I find this cable? Is it in the mother board box or with the power supply cables?

[MrChavelo]

Where can I find this cable?

Shoud have either 4 pins or 2x4 pins, usually it's labelled with something like 'CPU'

It's like a PCIe power cable but split in half.

Now nothing's showing up on screen

Try installing your GPU and connect the HDMI/Displayport/whatever cable to the GPU and the monitor

Reset cmos, is working now. Ram is 1600 MHz and is saying 1333 on screen? Use custom XMP profile?

Did you set it to 1600Mhz in the BIOS?

Set XMP profile 1, problem (should be) solved

Okay, thanks for all the help in such a short time! I would have never known since I thought the little extension on the cable was that. Gonna mark this as solved. Thanks for all of your help!
