PC Won't Turn On

[Liam1]

So I recently finished building my computer, but when I turned it on nothing happened. I went through my motherboard's manual and plugged in the front panel connectors in correctly, but when I turned it on the only thing that happened was the front panel lights blinked. I'm not sure what is happening. I also tried to use a screwdriver to turn it on without a button, and it did nothing.

Double check that the 24pin and 4/8 pin for cpu are properly plugged in.

Whats the rest of your build?

don't trust cheap power supplys

Are all of your cables secure? I would double check every single connection.

1. Make sure that the CPU and PCI-Express power plugs are both plugged in.
2. Reseat the memory.
3. If all else fails, unplug video card and use only onboard video until you can get the MB to post.

Test the power supply

Unplug the power supply from any of the components inside the computer (or just remove it from the computer completely).

USE CAUTION HERE (Though you’d only be shocked with a max of 24 volts)

1. Plug the power supply into the wall.
2. Find the big 24-ish pin connector that connects to the motherboard.
3. Connect the GREEN wire with the adjacent BLACK wire.
4. The power supply’s fan should start up. If it doesn’t then it’s dead.
5. If the fan starts up, then it could be the motherboard that’s dead. You can use a multimeter to check if there is power output from the power supply.

I'm using a separate power supply that didn't come with the case.

I know that the power supply does work because I used it with an older computer for a few weeks.

Also, I don't even have a video card yet, I'm using the integrated graphics on my APU.

I'm currently checking if all of the cables are plugged in.

 

 

Here is a link to ALL of the parts I'm using:  https://goo.gl/y2GScU

I made sure everything was plugged in. I also used a different Power Cable thing that attaches to the motherboard and tried to use that to turn it on without the button.

 

So far I've had no luck, I tried the front panel connector thing with another PC and it didn't work too. I think I'm just going to return the motherboard and buy a different case especially because the case I have now is terrible.

Get the motherboard out of the case, put it on something non conductive, leave only motherboard, CPU (with heatsink) ram, beeper connected, see if it starts

So I used the wrong screws for the motherboard an used the correct screws and now it works with a screwdriver at least.
