New build: doesn't turn on

[Ed1432]

Ive made sure that all the front panel connectors are in the correct position, everything has power and the power supply is turned on, yet when I press the power button nothing happens. I don't have any spare parts to check for shorts. Initially it turned on for a few seconds but then cut out.

Did you try shorting the connectors on the motherboard for the power button with a screwdriver or something?

 

Also, what are your specs? It's helpful to give as much information as possible. Exactly what happens when you press the power button?

Did it make a noise when it turned on with the lights flickering?

Specs are:

i5 7600k

evga gtx 1060

msi z270-a pro

8gb corsair vengeance ddr4

evga supernova 650 G3 

 

nothing happens when when the power button is pressed. Shorting the power switch pins does nothing either

Dumb question, but: is the power supply plugged into an outlet that has power?

 

Otherwise, it sounds like it might be a problem with the PSU. Is there a switch on the back that you can change the voltage settings with? If so, make sure that's set the to lowest number of volts

It is plugged into an outlet with power. There is an "Eco" mode switch on the power supply which is turned on

Hmm. Try turning that off and see what happens(just out of curiosity)

[Ed1432]

Still nothing after turning that off

I'm gonna go ahead and call it a PSU problem then.

 

There's a chance someone else here would know better though so wait for a second opinion...

Have you tried disconnecting and reseating your components?

[Ed1432]

The power supply did work at first, but it was turning on and off every half second. I disconnected the power and tried again and this time it did stay on for a few seconds and now it won't turn back on. Could that have broke it?

i would word that advice a little different since we don't know wich country the OP lives in ... 

 

if i would set my PSU to something like 120V i'd probably kill it instantly since we have 230V here in my country.

Oops sorry. I'll keep that in mind

re seat everything, if ur in the us set ur psu to 120v, and take out gpu. gpu might be blocking something

gpu could prevent post, or maybe the cpu is being fed a large ammount of voltage somehow

if your psu is modular (assuming it is) reseat all connectors that plug into psu

Does the PSU fan work ? You can test your PSU with a multimeter, or there is even this :
