AMD build not starting. HELP!?

[TacoMexicano]

This is my first time building a computer, So don't get mad at me! I have plugged everything in and triple checked it and my friend who knows a lot about PCs checked it too. Whenever I try to turn it on though, the front LED and The fans turn on for about half a second then everything turns back off.

These are my components:

Processor: AMD FX 8350

Motherboard: MSI 970 gaming

Power supply: SilverStone Strider plus 750 watts

Graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 380 built by msi

Case: Zalman Z11

HDD: Western digital one terabyte

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250gb

RAM: Kingston Hyperx

OS: Windows 10 home

CPU cooler ( not installed yet): bequiet! Dark rock 3 (am using stock one though)

As I said, I checked it around three times. I do not know what is happening. I live in Europe if that helps!

Thanks in advance, TacoMexicano

Try switching your ram in different slots and try again.

Tell me if you need more pictures!

You installed the standoffs correct? If so, then try switching RAM like the post above says

[DarkBlade2117]

Is the PSU switch on? Also possible dead PSU,

Had this problem on my old pc, get an pencil eraser then rub it on the gold teeth of your ram. If it doesnt work you just got yourself a faulty RAM

[TacoMexicano]

I am pretty sure my ram is not faulty

Hi happy new year first.

 

Any post "bip" ?

Try in the simpliest possible mode :

Only the ssd plugged in

Only 1 ram stick plugged

Only mouse + keyboard on usb nothing else.

[JJJaaammmeeesss]

Try clearing CMOS

[NinjaJc01]

Wich slots?

Try it with just one stick of RAM in the slot closest to the CPU.

[Kaspertechgeek]

Wich slots?

The second and fourth counting from the left.

[bamchi]

Wich slots?

Not ram slots, get the both of the RAM the take a pencil eraser then rub the gold teeth of the RAM, ONLY the gold parts.

[TacoMexicano]

Switching the RAM did noy work. I do not think rubbing ramp with an eraser is a good idea.

It's possible you bought a faulty Motherboard or faulty RAM. Try sticking the RAM in a different PC and see if they work.

when my Computer behave like that i have to take my computers power plug out, and wait for 1 min before plugin it in again, and while it is not plug in i also have to take the little Battery out. when i plug every thing in again, it typical post,

does you get any error message ? if remember  right there is an little LED on the motherboard, see if it show anything, if it does, write those down the should hold the answer, or maybe switch BIOS

How would that help exactly?

It minimises the chance of any faulty components stopping it from booting.

[TacoMexicano]

I cleaned ram with an eraser. Did not help.

And it shouldn't have helped.  That was one of the stupidest suggestions I've seen in a while.  There is no reason on earth you'd need to do that to a new stick of RAM, hell you should never even have to do that to a used stick unless it was stored outside or in a cave.

 

Double check all of your connections, and try to boot with minimal hardware as suggested before.  Pull all the RAM but one stick and try to boot.  If that doesn't work swap that stick out for another and try again.  If still no luck try removing the GPU and see if it will make it through the boot process without shutting down. 

 

Also make sure you have the 8-pin CPU power connector plugged up.  In the picture I don't see any cables going in that direction.

Thank you very much. That is probably the problem. What is confusing though, is that the fans and leds were running twice after I had pressed the start button. After I turned it off though. The same problem happened. I will check later.

You ram is not broken by the way

[TacoMexicano]

The ram is not broken btw
