PC won't boot

[Limb]

I have built PC and it is not booting. The motherboard is lighting up, indicating it has power but is not booting when I press the power button. I have tried shorting the front io power pins with a screwdriver but no luck. I am using a fractal design 2300 case and an asus b150 pro gaming motherboard.

what so the CPU fan isn't spinning, or the display is not showing  ?

Try using one stick of ram at a time, see if that works, also what is ur PC specs?

I suggest checking all of your connections one at a time, Double checking everything you have installed too. I do agree with rattacko123, Best to check ram one at a time too and do that first.

 

Speaking from experience I normally checked my connections too as I had a habit of forgetting to plug something in lol.

Can't test the ram thing because I'm at work but the PC specs are:

Intel i5 6600k cpu

Asus B150 pro gaming motherboard

Corsair vs 650 power supply

Hyper x ram

Fractal design 2300 case

Samsung 950 pro ssd

212 evo CPU cooler

Does your mobo support nvme? if checking the cables and ram doesn't work, maybe try removing the nvme drive to see if it actually gets into bios. Your specs look like they should be fine

I tried the ram thing and it didn't work. Plus why would the ram have anything to do with it.

you may have defective ram (well probably not because you tried the ram thing, and usually it's only 1 stick that is defective), and well, I'm out of ideas for what you could do, so something random like removing the SSD may potentially help (very unlikely). Do you have a GPU for your system?

If you can't get it to boot at all, you may have a defective Motherboard or maybe even CPU. Check your motherboard CPU pins (the pins underneath the CPU) to see if they are bent, because 1 bent pin can prevent your system from booting.
