My pc isn't turning on

[Budgepctgamer]

Hi My name is Gabriel and I built a computer about six months ago with these specs: i5-6500, gtx 1060 3gb, 16gb of Avexir Core Series 2400 ram, EVGA 430w psu, 1tb western digital caviar blue and a ASRock H110M-HDS. And it has worked really well but today I decided after watching cable management videos to take it apart and try to make it look better and I put everything back in and it doesn't work. Please help me

Thats ok, no need to repost

[Budgepctgamer]

so which topic should I take down then?

Okay, so lets follow some basic troubleshooting steps, we're going to go slowly step by step:

Unplug your graphics card and all peripherals except a keyboard and plug your monitor into the motherboard graphics port. Please also unplug your front IO. Please also unplug your hard drive(s).

Its okay. So right now, the only cables that should be plugged in are the following:

1. Motherboard/CPU power

2. Display cable in the motherboard

3. Keyboard

4. CPU Fan

 

The only devices that should be plugged in are:

1. CPU/CPU Fan

2. RAM

 

The goal here is to bring the whole system to the barebones in order to diagnose what is going on.

Okay, now attempt to power on the machine. If you unplugged everything, you will have to plug the power switch back in...sorry I forgot to add that in. haha.
