The computer doesn't turn on

thatskore · December 14, 2015

Hello.

So I have this prebuilt Fujitsu that I have for a while already. It has an i3-4150 processor which is pretty decent, but it didn't have any graphics, so that was a huge problem for me.

So I decided to upgrade my PC for these holidays, my budget was pretty low, but I picked picked some cool stuff.

I got:

r7 370

450W VS Corsair PSU

4gb DDR3

1TB HDD (Seagate)

So when I was upgrading my computer and I finished everything, it was hard though, that was my first time inside the computer and I wasted a lot of time just to do simple things like to screw things in, idk but I found it challenging.

Anyways, I plugged absolutely everything, but my computer doesn't respond to power button, nothing happens, literally, I started to shit my pants, I thought I scratched the motherboard to death or something and stuff, I double check my stuff, everything seems to be okay, I even plug cables back and forth again, nothing changes, then I decide to change the PSU, maybe something is wrong or something, and the computer started thankfully.. Well the problem now is that I can't use my GPU cause my PSU is only 280W and I can't do anything with that and I don't know what's wrong with it. I read on the internet that maybe my motherboard might not compatible with the PSU, how is that possible?

Damn, it feels really bad, I was saving for this thing for a while and now it still doesn't work... Is it possible to solve this? I tried to re-assemble this thrice already...

The motherboard is:

FUJITSU D3230-A1

P.S. Everything else seems to work, although I don't know if my GPU is working, but I think it should be fine. I hope so. I don't really know what's the deal, so yeah.

P.S.S. Tried to plug everything except GPU, didn't work.

Try using a screw driver and bypassing the switch. The switch could go bad. Goto linus channel and watch build guides and make sure everything is write.

How am I supossed to do that? Could you tell me a lil bit more? There are literally 2 cables to plug in to my motherboard from PSU, I don't know how I can screw that up.
