Whats wrong with my pc?

Go to solution Solved by Godlygamer23,

yeah im just trying to test some stuff. but the led fans wont work nor the graphics card fan. is that normal. thats literally my question. people took this way out of context.

You will need the CPU and RAM in order to properly test your PC hardware.

Some of My parts came in the mail this morning

 

These are the following that came

The case

the motherboard

the graphics card

the power supply

the keyboard

the mouse

the 1TB storage

 

 

what has not come

12G of Ram

AMD Cpu

Wrong. It will turn on without a CPU. It just won't POST. This myth needs to stop.

When I forget to plug in CPU power my computer flashes on, then off. Nothing happens unless the CPU is in and working. BIOS doesn't show up, nothing responds, USB doesn't get power, ect. I'd say it doesn't turn on.

i'll go ahead and test that tomorrow actually, i guess booting without a cpu gives the same result as booting without a cpu power connector.

 

right?

When I start a computer without a CPU, it either outright refuses to turn on, or it turns on for a couple of seconds...

But the user is suggesting the system doesn't power on at all, when it will.

Well, no. I didn't say the PC would be functional. I just said it would turn on. Your analogy doesn't quite work.

I'd say wait for CPU and RAM before making any assertions.

With me eventually losing since people are more likely to test these things than me as I don't have time.
