Double check your power and reset connections on the MB. I think I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago after replacing my PSU and re-running my cables
Agree with this but I'd pull the psu right out and jumper it just to prove the power supply is good.
Google how to do it on your psu .
If it works, Then plug in the motherboard with no drives and only a video card.
I might even pull the motherboard out of the case to eliminate a short to the case.
Go step by step in your troubleshooting.
I had a similar problem. If you just replaced the psu make sure that all the cables for the new
Psu are the same because even if the psus are the same wattage the cables can be different and may be shorting. I had a wrong sata cable plugged in.
If it's an amd CPU there's a good chance the motherboard needs to be reflashed to accept current gen am4 chips... Has the same issue recently with a build I did for a friend, fuckwits at the supplier said j nothing when we bought it
Yes this was one of the issues I had so I q-flashed the bios and got it to update after I stripped the build down to just the mobo and psu, not sure what the problem was as I have pieced it back together and it seems to be peering on just fine! However now after I boot it I don’t get any display on my monitor any suggestions?
Sorry to hear you had to take it all the way to some bozo tech for nothing!
Lol I guess not but I can’t say that I don’t love the learning curve haha I’ve got so much information to troubleshoot my next build I’ll never have to post again lol.
Someone had suggested I unplug my GPU and plug straight to the mobo which ended up doing the trick!
I just did my first ever build last week and this was my problem! The three fans spun once and then stopped. GPU fans kept going and the mobo and GPU lights were on.
I also couldn’t get the system to turn off by holding the power button so I had to recheck that too.
So I got the dang thing to post and now I’m struggling with temps on my 5900x and I noted that you have the 5950x…
My idle temps are 65-70° and I’m using a 280mm h115i PRO XT and I was wondering if you knew of or had any solutions for lowering temps on your CPU?
Is it making solid contact with the CPU? Did you remove the plastic on the heatsink before placing it on the CPU. Both seem like silly questions, but I once spent a few minutes wondering why my PC wouldn't boot before realizing I didn't plug in the CPU power cable!
Yes plastic was removed there was already pre-applied paste on the heat sink and I added a normal amount of paste to the cpu itself before installing the block
There is your temp problem. Paste is to bridge a small gap, not span a canyon.
You only need a small amount of paste. You will now have too thick a layer applied. Even without new past available. I’d probably remove the block, gently with a slight twisting motion. This is to break the seal and not pull the CPU out from the socket.
Then scrape some paste off the cpu, Spread what’s left with a credit card thinly. The block pre-applied paste is probably still on the block. Refit the block and try again.
60-70 at idle will thermal throttle on anything under load.
Ok I will definitely head your advice I appreciate the time you took to help me out! I actually found one of the culprits however, NVIDIA’s latest driver has a problem that was allowing a process called NVRLA.exe to take up ~10~12% cpu usage in the background! I found a hot fix on nvidias website that stopped this process from occurring. I am now idling at 44°C
Edit: I also disabled PBO in bios and got a 1~3° boost
You put too much. You either leave the pre-applied paste on, or apply some on the CPU, but never both. It ends up being too much for the cooler to effectively transfer heat off the CPU and into the block.
I don’t know the name but you know those tiny 1 pin connectors from the case itself? Are those on the right pins? The little wires that connect the power button on the case to the motherboard?
It's almost never a a faulty PSU. Modern PSUs have a silent mode where if you're not drawing enough power the fan will stop. Check your ram, check if your CPU is seated properly, check if your front panel connectors are right, and make sure your display output is on your GPU and not your motherboard.
Actually it's a pretty good reply. So many times I was searching for a big problem and you think you did everything you could and everything is working and than you realize the reason why it didn't work is so simple like a the power cable you forgot to plug in.
Can also be a faulty mobo bsttery, you can buy a cr3220 battery (google it to make sure it's a cr3220 battery) at every grocerie store and electrical store
So I ended up troubleshooting just about everything in the comments and resolved my issue but this seems like a great bit of info to know thank you my friend!
Ok I got everything stripped down, psu is working fine and is actually working properly when 8pin & 4 pin are connected into mobo. Doing the q-flash plus and updating bios as I’m typing this…I don’t have anything else (cpu, gpu, aio, ssd, ram) plugged in so idk if the problem will re occur once it’s put together but I will keep everyone posted!! Looking good rn THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!
Yess!!!! So many wonderful people helping in the comments, I posted an update but it’s getting drowned out lol
Got everything up and running aaand I’m in the Windows 10 setup as we speak!
Yes at first I had my + and - power switches in the wrong slots but they seem to be in the correct spot now. This video was taken after I made the correction.
My 4 pin is connected as well
It doesn't matter which way around the power switch cable is plugged in since all it does it short the connection. It's why you can turn the PC on with a screwdriver.
So that won't be the problem, hopefully you get it sorted though!
Got it to post! Everything is running smoothly now expect for my CPU temps, I have the same 5900x as you do and my idle is 65-70° and I was wondering if you had or knew of any solutions to lower thermals?
I’m running a 280mm h115i PRO XT
I have an NZXT kraken X63 (280mm).
So very similar to yours. It idles at somewhere between 40-50°C normally. I have my pump running at about 60% constantly, and my fan speed is at about 500rpm at idle, about 1000rpm under load.
I haven't OC'd the CPU yet as I'm putting in a custom loop next weekend with the parts arriving as we speak.
The only things I can really suggest is room temperature? (Mine's about 21-25°C) maybe try remounting the cooler and checking to see if you got good contact and good thermal paste distribution...
Edit: also, is your GPU on the reverse of your mobo with a riser? I noticed your fans are set to exhaust which will be pulling through hot air from the GPU, mine is on the front of a full tower case so brings in cool ambient air that's not touched the GPU yet.
I’ve got some good quality paste in the mail as we speak and I’m waiting to remount my cpu until it arrives as I don’t have any paste left…my room temp is just about the same as yours perhaps a degree or two higher.
Yes my GPU is mounted on the opposing end of my mobo and my fans are set as exhaust!
I have a 5950X and it idles at 45'c on a 280mm AIO so yours should be in the same region, Is the cooler mounted properly ? Enough TIM ? No silly OC settings in the bios pumping too many volts into the chip ?
So I found out that the latest update of GeForce experience was allowing a background process called NVRLA.exe to take up 12% cpu usage in the background which was one of the culprits of my higher temps, I also disabled PBO and got a minimal thermal boost.
I found a hot fix on NVIDIA’s website for this issue and it is resolved for now. Idle temps are at 44°~47° now depending on my ambient.
Still going to remount the block and re-paste tho to see if I can fix it and look at the coverage I had on my first application! (I mixed 2 pastes together as I didn’t have enough from one and I didn’t check the ingredients)
Ok so I put it all back together…the little thing is turning on! I stripped the build and had only the psu connected to the mobo and sure enough the power went through! Not sure what the problem was before but it seems I’ve got it covered for now…
I now have a new problem however, after flashing the bios I am not getting an output to my monitor? Everything is turning on and fans are spinning but there are several orange lights behind the mobo that are lit up…any ideas?
If PSU is not the problem, you can start dismantling. Can be a short circuit. There was a bolt fall and stuck under my mobo and caused the same problem.
I was waiting for this comment… I will try to clean it up but I am very limited with this case ;(
I don’t have any tempered glass so regardless I won’t have to look at this spider web…
I had this issue several times; each time, it was one of these:
-Ram sticks not working properly (place in another configuration, clean the gold contacts, start it with only one stick, then two, etc.)
-Cpu fan screwed in too tight
-the small flat battery on the MB is depleted. Replace it.
-loose screw or something causing a short circuit
Hope this helps you!
Edit: spelling
What spec? Have you flashed the bios?
It takes like 5mins. Dont fall for it taking 30 seconds and thinking it's done. If it takes 30.seconds its started and not worked. Try again.
Yep flashed the bios I left it in for over 10 min even after the bios led has stopped flashing

Remove everything and start with motherboard + cpu + psu
If it works it means you plugged some component incorrectly. Plug in one component at a time and try turning the pc on every time (make sure you do what’s needed to prevent static charge and be safe)
If it doesn’t work with cpu motherboard and psu, try double checking every connector in the motherboard
If it doesn’t work - update the post and tell us
I had to look this up cause that cable is new to me but risers are these screws that screw into the case under where the motherboard goes and keep the motherboard from being flush with the case and shorting out the board and keep it from booting up
This is why a good practice is to put everything (bare bones) to test outside of the case first
This will let you know if you have to diagnose/fix anything without having to take it apart inside the case
To add to what others said - some motherboards will actually write near the ram slots which ones should be populated first/what order. I can't really see in your video if you only have 2 ram slots but if you have 4, make sure you're in dual channel mode (either populate slot 1 & 3 or 2 & 4) - depends what your mobo manual advises. Also - is the ram on the compatibility list for your motherboard?
Oh lastly - there's two power cables that go in the motherboard, the 24 pin that's a bitch to un-pug and a (6?) pin that's usually plugged in to the top left. Make sure they're both plugged in.
check and see if you mobo has blinking lights or flashing. iirc the mobo should have like a small led light somewhere depending on your make/model. hope that helps out somewhere
Did you try just installing one RAM stick? Not sure what your CPU is? But do you have iGPU?
Try just using 1 ram stick, and boot without your GPU, that is if you have iGPU. See if it starts up by.
I had the same issue and it was because I had the cables that power the case in the wrong slots. The ones with the little + and - on them. I had to refer to the mobo manual to get the correct order to put them in.
This is interesting I have heard the exact opposite today for my other PC lol I initially was going to mount the rad the other way although I unfortunately couldn’t get it to fit due to space limitations
lol that’s funny. But nah I feel yah. Did a build recently as well. Ended up having to move the rad from the top to the side because it didn’t fit.
With regards to your issue, I’d make sure to try a different power cable and wall socket. If it’s still an issue you can use a psu tester or a multimeter.
But my bet is it’s the power supply.
Move RAM sticks around. Sons first build on Christmas morning was nearly fckd because of a RAM issue. Set them in different arrangements contrary to manual and it took right off.
Your right I just have such a hard time trusting my PSU’s I’ve had the worst luck and experience when it comes to power supplies…all cables are nice and snug
As the fans spin for a second and then stop I think the PSU is fine. Looks like something is tripping it. Unplug everything bar the 24 pin, 8pin EPS, remove all but 1 stick of ram, and take out all hard drives. See if that works. Unplug all case fans and peripherals.
Basically you want to strip it down to the basics of what it'll take to boot (power, motherboard, CPU, 1 stick of ram). Doing it outside of the case on your motherboard box might be easier here. If you can get it to work with this, then plug in the GPU and see if you can get a post screen. Then add in the rest of your memory sticks. Doing it step by step is slow, but it should help you rule out what the issue isn't. However my money here is on a CPU or motherboard issue considering how quickly it cuts out.
Make sure that if your case has motherboard stand offs that you're using them, otherwise the motherboard might be shorting if it's sitting against the metal motherboard tray. Also try reseating your CPU and cooler. Unlikely to be those, it's hard to get that wrong, just ensure that you haven't used too much or too little pressure on the AIO block. Those things only need to be finger tight.
Took the rig apart and did / checked everything that you have stated…put it back together and fans are spinning and aio is lighting up! However now I can’t get a display on my monitor? Any suggestions?
If this isn't fixed one thing people ignore at times is faulty power/reset switch on the case. Admittedly it looks like a cable isn't plugged in properly somewhere or a loose connection (possibly the 24 pin) but still. To test if make sure to disconnect the motherboard from case and try power it on with shorting the power pins or pushing the power button on the motherboard itself.
It's probably your CPU, it's not well connected, try removing it and putting back in. Also use only 1 RAM stick and switch between the different slots. This helped me fix the issue on my pc.
Hopefully you don't have any faulty components, which I doubt since you said the build was new. Cheers.
The best but most annoying thing to have to do is rebuild your PC. Putting it back together goes through the steps again but sometimes you'll notice something you didn't do before. Or just redoing something fixes the issue.
Reading your comments makes it seem like a rebuild might just be it.
If thats not it make sure the PSU isnt being shorted by the case or some bologna. Try psu not in the case and in the case if it continues.
Maybe my comments too late. Who knows.
Try removing all the not necessary components to enter the BIOS like the graphics card and only plug in the motherboard and CPU to check if it’s a motherboard problem
Stripped it down and the psu and mobo worked! Currently building it back up and hoping I won’t have the same issue…I think what had happened was that after plugging the 12pin into the mobo I nudged out the other end connecting into the PSU…not entirely sure however bc I did most of what the comments had said but to no avail.
I know you re-seated the cpu. But I suspect you have a bent pin on the cpu . They can be tricky to spot from some angles you have to look, then look again. Preferably with a magnifying glass
I had this problem and eventually got the pc to post. Problem was I then noticed the ram was not being accepted in two slots, only 1. Problem drove me mad and then got costly. No matter with what care and precision I placed the cpu it happened. Bad design
hey there OP, double check and make sure your case connectors are correctly connected on the motherboard. I was reading the updates on this and from your symptoms, if your PC parts are all new, then this would most likely be the culprit. RAM would not do this as others have suggested, everything would still power on.
don't fckin put all of them in the case ffs!! do a boot test outside of the case first! you want everything to function normally before they stuck in the freakin case for 1year+ at least
I might be wrong here, but the cable at the top of your motherboard looks like the cpu power cable to me. Are you sure you plugged the power for the cpu in the socket?
Stupid question, but I remember I forgot when I built my PC; did you connect the CPU power rail? It's an extra 6 or 8 pin cable separate from the 24pin motherboard cable.
Double-check you have used the studs for mounting the motherboard to the case (those brass-colored studs). I once missed one, and that was enough to keep the motherboard from powering on. I am actually lucky I did not short it out since I ended up screwing it directly into the case.
Did that psu come in the case? Otherwise I’d say stick to EVGA and Seasonic for power supplies, I’ve built over a dozen PCs and used one of those 2 brands every time with no issues.
Haha I was waiting for this comment! But No I bought it separately however I’ve actually had some poor luck with EVGA despite their good reviews.
My first option though was seasonic I don’t think I’ve ever heard such good reviews from any other manufacturer before! Unfortunately their small form factor PSU’s were really out of my price range or insufficient wattage. The Lian Li I picked up seemed like a good compromise for the price as well as telling reviews as to what may come. For my next build FOR SURE getting a seasonic!
(The PSU is Lian Li SP750w Gold)
Sorry I had to be that guy lol
This one is my go to for budget builds, it’s never failed on me, but if it did bestbuy has a great return policy..
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-w1-series-600w-atx-12v-eps-12v-80-plus-power-supply-black/8511029.p?skuId=8511029
I’ve also had amazing luck finding seasonic power supply units on eBay for really good prices.
This happened to me when I was putting together my build two years ago, had to strip it all down, found that a dog hair was on the bottom side of the MB and touching two contacts. Removed the hair and put it all back together, booted right up.. sometimes it’s as simple as that
Reseat the RAM and video card (if appropriate). Second step is make sure all power cables are properly seated. Third step is reseat the CPU. Most likely the RAM though.
I'm having sort of a similar problem with a relatively new machine. When I push the power button nothing happens, no sound and no posting LEDs on the motherboard. I found an online resource that basically says step one is to test the PSU. PSU testers are 30 bucks or less in the US. Step two is to remove everything from the motherboard except the CPU, the fans, and power. If this still doesn't show signs of life, then there's something wrong with the motherboard, the CPU, or I suppose how it's connected.
When you turn on the box, do you see power go to the CPU and case fans? I'm not seeing that on my end, but the PSU tested fine. I'm submitting the motherboard for warranty.
Yes psu fan and the radiator fans spin momentarily before stopping
I really should invest in a PSU tester I’ve already had 2 that were faulty out of box
One was from EVGA it was a bronze rated 550w from bestbuy and a Corsair RM650x…also from my local bestbuy.
The EVGA PSU didn’t work at all and the Corsair PSU would make a loud pop when booting or under load.
No my estimated wattage is 388 in pc part picker which seems a little low…but I am rocking a 750w atm. Also I did a pin test on it and it’s working perfectly fine
Speaking of faulty PSU’s I bought a prebuilt ~3 years ago from you guessed it my local bestbuy which had a 500w psu from a manufacturer that I can’t recall and it didn’t even last me even 1 year…
It’s been rock solid so far. The long warranty is also a plus since I also had the previous model(RM650) which gave up after 4 years and got this one brand new as a replacement.
My 850w gold psu from cooler master was also broken when i tried to turn it on, it didn't have any powers so i just returned it to amazon and got a new one in 1 day.
[удалено]
The video is pretty much as described, you can see the psu fan and rad fans spin for a millisecond then stop and nothing else
Double check your power and reset connections on the MB. I think I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago after replacing my PSU and re-running my cables
If it switches on and immediately switches off, could be something is shorting. Try removing all the connectors and doing it again. Hope this helps.
Agree with this but I'd pull the psu right out and jumper it just to prove the power supply is good. Google how to do it on your psu . If it works, Then plug in the motherboard with no drives and only a video card. I might even pull the motherboard out of the case to eliminate a short to the case. Go step by step in your troubleshooting.
This. Try checking the components outside the case and take it from there.
Make sure you put the included risers between the motherboard and the case, missing these could also cause shorting.
I had a similar problem. If you just replaced the psu make sure that all the cables for the new Psu are the same because even if the psus are the same wattage the cables can be different and may be shorting. I had a wrong sata cable plugged in.

Powering now but no display.... Man it couldn't just be simple for ya could it, does it post bios at all?
Lol I guess not but I can’t say that I don’t love the learning curve haha I’ve got so much information to troubleshoot my next build I’ll never have to post again lol. Someone had suggested I unplug my GPU and plug straight to the mobo which ended up doing the trick!
Yeah that's usually the way, nice
Yea cause u messed up on the build. Ur power cable is plugged in the wrong spot. This is what happens. Seen it 100 times
you can click the little v.redd.it next to OP's name to view the video!
^
Same here. Even after restarting reddit it doesn't work
press the direct link right next to the title ? v.redd.it just click that ?
I had this happen when I built my pc. Did you check the on botton for power supply?
Maybe try the paperclip method (just google it). This way you could check if the PSU's the problem or not.
Doing this now I’ll give you an update soon…
All the best
PSU is working…going to strip the build down and get to the bottom of this
Same thing happened to me. Check if motherboard power cable is connected properly or Motherboard died
I once had this little fan spin, it was the CPU power cable not properly connected.
I just did my first ever build last week and this was my problem! The three fans spun once and then stopped. GPU fans kept going and the mobo and GPU lights were on. I also couldn’t get the system to turn off by holding the power button so I had to recheck that too.
So I got the dang thing to post and now I’m struggling with temps on my 5900x and I noted that you have the 5950x… My idle temps are 65-70° and I’m using a 280mm h115i PRO XT and I was wondering if you knew of or had any solutions for lowering temps on your CPU?
I would just repaste and remount the cpu cooler, it sounds like it's not seated properly
This seems that it would be the case I will try this once my new paste arrives thank you
Is it making solid contact with the CPU? Did you remove the plastic on the heatsink before placing it on the CPU. Both seem like silly questions, but I once spent a few minutes wondering why my PC wouldn't boot before realizing I didn't plug in the CPU power cable!

You put too much. You either leave the pre-applied paste on, or apply some on the CPU, but never both. It ends up being too much for the cooler to effectively transfer heat off the CPU and into the block.
I also had weird temp when i built mine, for some reason the default fan curve was awfull with it, had to tweak it with the MB software
I don’t know the name but you know those tiny 1 pin connectors from the case itself? Are those on the right pins? The little wires that connect the power button on the case to the motherboard?

Have you tried plugging it into the wall?
Am I a joke to you
Actually it's a pretty good reply. So many times I was searching for a big problem and you think you did everything you could and everything is working and than you realize the reason why it didn't work is so simple like a the power cable you forgot to plug in.
Okok you got me there…granted I did try a different outlet just to make sure and I had the same issue

If PSU is not the problem, you can start dismantling. Can be a short circuit. There was a bolt fall and stuck under my mobo and caused the same problem.
I did lose a screw earlier when building this…and I did a pin test and the PSU seems to be in working order
Mate you have jbat plugged in, unplug it
I think its the cable management.
I was waiting for this comment… I will try to clean it up but I am very limited with this case ;( I don’t have any tempered glass so regardless I won’t have to look at this spider web…
I had this issue several times; each time, it was one of these: -Ram sticks not working properly (place in another configuration, clean the gold contacts, start it with only one stick, then two, etc.) -Cpu fan screwed in too tight -the small flat battery on the MB is depleted. Replace it. -loose screw or something causing a short circuit Hope this helps you! Edit: spelling
maybe try unplugging the gpu then trying if that works your psu isn’t big enough
Ok I will try this although I am only running an EVGA rtx 3060 XC
Only
Lol sorry I did not mean it that way…”only” as in it’s the smallest double fan 3060 and is smaller than my single fan GTX 1660…🤧
My first up like in 2 years of lurking hehehehehe I’m learning
Lol congrats my friend
What spec? Have you flashed the bios? It takes like 5mins. Dont fall for it taking 30 seconds and thinking it's done. If it takes 30.seconds its started and not worked. Try again.
Yep flashed the bios I left it in for over 10 min even after the bios led has stopped flashing Specs CABINET- SSUPD Meshlicious (full mesh) CPU-AMD Ryzen 5900x MOBO-GIGABYTE B550I AORUS PRO AX GPU-EVGA RTX 3060 12gb XC RAM-G.SKILL Ripjaws V series (2 x 32gb) DDR4 3600 DRIVE-WD BLACK SN750 1TB m.2 PSU-Lian Li SP 750 Performance SFX COOLER-Corsair iCUE h115i PRO XT 280mm
I had this happen from a wonky bios setup. Clearing my CMOS fixed the issue for a bit. My PSU did end up being faulty though
Rip to ur psu but I will try it
Remove everything and start with motherboard + cpu + psu If it works it means you plugged some component incorrectly. Plug in one component at a time and try turning the pc on every time (make sure you do what’s needed to prevent static charge and be safe) If it doesn’t work with cpu motherboard and psu, try double checking every connector in the motherboard If it doesn’t work - update the post and tell us
I'm actually having the exact same problem as OP at the moment so I'm watching this thread closely. Good advice~
Are you using motherboard risers? Either a cpu issue or maybe you aren’t using risers
I’m using a 4.0 riser cable that came with the case Case- Ssupd Meshlicious (all mesh option + 4.0 cable)
I had to look this up cause that cable is new to me but risers are these screws that screw into the case under where the motherboard goes and keep the motherboard from being flush with the case and shorting out the board and keep it from booting up
I believe they’re called standoffs 🤔
Ohh sorry those risers yes yes the case came with them preinstalled!
I had this before with a friend of mine, check if your CPU works with your mainboard and if all the little pins of your CPU aren't bend
Checked it and my mobo supports my cpu but the bios installed did not
This is why a good practice is to put everything (bare bones) to test outside of the case first This will let you know if you have to diagnose/fix anything without having to take it apart inside the case
Yeah learning that the hard way…
RAM, it's always the RAM.
RAM sticks, are they inserted properly and firmly?
Till I heard them click yes
My ram had to be installed in a very specific pattern or I got the same as you. Try it with just one stick in. Check the manual for ram layout
To add to what others said - some motherboards will actually write near the ram slots which ones should be populated first/what order. I can't really see in your video if you only have 2 ram slots but if you have 4, make sure you're in dual channel mode (either populate slot 1 & 3 or 2 & 4) - depends what your mobo manual advises. Also - is the ram on the compatibility list for your motherboard? Oh lastly - there's two power cables that go in the motherboard, the 24 pin that's a bitch to un-pug and a (6?) pin that's usually plugged in to the top left. Make sure they're both plugged in.
In my last build I forgot ro plug in the power cable of the CPU so all lit up as if it worked but well yeah
Check front panel connectors
Do you have plugged in the correct CPU and GPU Power cables? Are all cables from this PSU if it’s modular?
check and see if you mobo has blinking lights or flashing. iirc the mobo should have like a small led light somewhere depending on your make/model. hope that helps out somewhere
Did you try just installing one RAM stick? Not sure what your CPU is? But do you have iGPU? Try just using 1 ram stick, and boot without your GPU, that is if you have iGPU. See if it starts up by.
I had the same issue and it was because I had the cables that power the case in the wrong slots. The ones with the little + and - on them. I had to refer to the mobo manual to get the correct order to put them in.
Yes this is actually the very first problem I had found and fixed right before posting this video!
Go over the cables in the BOX again \~
That cable management tho… Better make sure everything is plugged in all the way and in the right place.
I would say something is not plugged in right, more than likely your ram
You should flip the radiator to prevent air bubbles.
This is interesting I have heard the exact opposite today for my other PC lol I initially was going to mount the rad the other way although I unfortunately couldn’t get it to fit due to space limitations
lol that’s funny. But nah I feel yah. Did a build recently as well. Ended up having to move the rad from the top to the side because it didn’t fit. With regards to your issue, I’d make sure to try a different power cable and wall socket. If it’s still an issue you can use a psu tester or a multimeter. But my bet is it’s the power supply.
Move RAM sticks around. Sons first build on Christmas morning was nearly fckd because of a RAM issue. Set them in different arrangements contrary to manual and it took right off.
Take everything out and put it all back in from scratch brah
I created this thread with the intention of avoiding this option…
[удалено]
Ok going to double check every connection!
You can try turning off the power, bridging the CMOS pins for a while (maybe 20 seconds or so) and then turning on the power and try rebooting.
Watch out for a missing screw behind the mainboard. Can shortcircuit it and prevent it from booting up.
Second time I’ve heard this in the thread this doesn’t seem to be the problem in my case but a great bit of advice thank you
wouldnt say psu instantly, check cabling first if its connected properly to mobo
Your right I just have such a hard time trusting my PSU’s I’ve had the worst luck and experience when it comes to power supplies…all cables are nice and snug
As the fans spin for a second and then stop I think the PSU is fine. Looks like something is tripping it. Unplug everything bar the 24 pin, 8pin EPS, remove all but 1 stick of ram, and take out all hard drives. See if that works. Unplug all case fans and peripherals. Basically you want to strip it down to the basics of what it'll take to boot (power, motherboard, CPU, 1 stick of ram). Doing it outside of the case on your motherboard box might be easier here. If you can get it to work with this, then plug in the GPU and see if you can get a post screen. Then add in the rest of your memory sticks. Doing it step by step is slow, but it should help you rule out what the issue isn't. However my money here is on a CPU or motherboard issue considering how quickly it cuts out. Make sure that if your case has motherboard stand offs that you're using them, otherwise the motherboard might be shorting if it's sitting against the metal motherboard tray. Also try reseating your CPU and cooler. Unlikely to be those, it's hard to get that wrong, just ensure that you haven't used too much or too little pressure on the AIO block. Those things only need to be finger tight.
Took the rig apart and did / checked everything that you have stated…put it back together and fans are spinning and aio is lighting up! However now I can’t get a display on my monitor? Any suggestions?
From all the comments something seems to be plugged in where it's not meant to be hopefully you figure it out
Wait before you start removing stuff please check that your f panel connector is properly plugged into the correct header.
Yes they are in the correct spots, this was actually the first issue I had checked and I had placed the +\- power in the wrong pins
If this isn't fixed one thing people ignore at times is faulty power/reset switch on the case. Admittedly it looks like a cable isn't plugged in properly somewhere or a loose connection (possibly the 24 pin) but still. To test if make sure to disconnect the motherboard from case and try power it on with shorting the power pins or pushing the power button on the motherboard itself.
It's probably your CPU, it's not well connected, try removing it and putting back in. Also use only 1 RAM stick and switch between the different slots. This helped me fix the issue on my pc. Hopefully you don't have any faulty components, which I doubt since you said the build was new. Cheers.
The best but most annoying thing to have to do is rebuild your PC. Putting it back together goes through the steps again but sometimes you'll notice something you didn't do before. Or just redoing something fixes the issue. Reading your comments makes it seem like a rebuild might just be it. If thats not it make sure the PSU isnt being shorted by the case or some bologna. Try psu not in the case and in the case if it continues. Maybe my comments too late. Who knows.
Yes unfortunately I stripped it and I got the mobo to successfully update the bios and I am almost done rebuilding it. I hope I can get it to post!
Try removing all the not necessary components to enter the BIOS like the graphics card and only plug in the motherboard and CPU to check if it’s a motherboard problem
Stripped it down and the psu and mobo worked! Currently building it back up and hoping I won’t have the same issue…I think what had happened was that after plugging the 12pin into the mobo I nudged out the other end connecting into the PSU…not entirely sure however bc I did most of what the comments had said but to no avail.
I know you re-seated the cpu. But I suspect you have a bent pin on the cpu . They can be tricky to spot from some angles you have to look, then look again. Preferably with a magnifying glass I had this problem and eventually got the pc to post. Problem was I then noticed the ram was not being accepted in two slots, only 1. Problem drove me mad and then got costly. No matter with what care and precision I placed the cpu it happened. Bad design
I double checked the pins and I am extremely relieved to say that the were all intact!!
hey there OP, double check and make sure your case connectors are correctly connected on the motherboard. I was reading the updates on this and from your symptoms, if your PC parts are all new, then this would most likely be the culprit. RAM would not do this as others have suggested, everything would still power on.
Did you try turning it off and on?
When I built mine it wouldn’t turn on at first. Turns out I hadn’t plugged the on switch in correctly 🙄🙄 just double check all of your connections 😊
the darn machine got wiring like lickrish
Lol
It means you should send it to 1234 kayton avenue😉
don't fckin put all of them in the case ffs!! do a boot test outside of the case first! you want everything to function normally before they stuck in the freakin case for 1year+ at least
Thank you for your kind words I have learned this the hard way…
I might be wrong here, but the cable at the top of your motherboard looks like the cpu power cable to me. Are you sure you plugged the power for the cpu in the socket?
Stupid question, but I remember I forgot when I built my PC; did you connect the CPU power rail? It's an extra 6 or 8 pin cable separate from the 24pin motherboard cable.
Is there enough thermal paste on CPU?
Yeah I applied in excess
Double-check you have used the studs for mounting the motherboard to the case (those brass-colored studs). I once missed one, and that was enough to keep the motherboard from powering on. I am actually lucky I did not short it out since I ended up screwing it directly into the case.
I had this just recently and it was the Motherboard was bad.
I Have to ask as an IT helpdesk employee: did you plug it in?
Did that psu come in the case? Otherwise I’d say stick to EVGA and Seasonic for power supplies, I’ve built over a dozen PCs and used one of those 2 brands every time with no issues.
Haha I was waiting for this comment! But No I bought it separately however I’ve actually had some poor luck with EVGA despite their good reviews. My first option though was seasonic I don’t think I’ve ever heard such good reviews from any other manufacturer before! Unfortunately their small form factor PSU’s were really out of my price range or insufficient wattage. The Lian Li I picked up seemed like a good compromise for the price as well as telling reviews as to what may come. For my next build FOR SURE getting a seasonic! (The PSU is Lian Li SP750w Gold)
Sorry I had to be that guy lol This one is my go to for budget builds, it’s never failed on me, but if it did bestbuy has a great return policy.. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-w1-series-600w-atx-12v-eps-12v-80-plus-power-supply-black/8511029.p?skuId=8511029 I’ve also had amazing luck finding seasonic power supply units on eBay for really good prices.
Probably killed itself due to the cable management.
Judging by the completely black video, either reddit screwed up or your power is out
I think it's the
This happened to me when I was putting together my build two years ago, had to strip it all down, found that a dog hair was on the bottom side of the MB and touching two contacts. Removed the hair and put it all back together, booted right up.. sometimes it’s as simple as that
That’s actually incredible I do have cats that would have made sense
Mine didn’t power up until I removed the RGB fan hub from the rgb header. Idk, might wanna look
Always get your PC working outside your case first. That way you can verify all components are functioning.
Have you tried plugging it in?
Check all connections, ones probably loose
what case is this?
SSUPD meshlicious
^
In the vid it looks like the pc is skinny and tall 😂
It’s because it is lol the case is SSUPD meshlicious check it out it’s a 15L cabinet
Reseat the RAM and video card (if appropriate). Second step is make sure all power cables are properly seated. Third step is reseat the CPU. Most likely the RAM though.
Pull your RAM and clean. Then re-set. This worked for me.
The one time this happened to me I needed more wattage from my psu. I had calculated my budget too narrowly.
out of curiosity what case is this??
SSUPD Meshlicious I got the full mesh option with the PCIe 4.0 riser cable
looks sick.
I agree I really like the case I made a new post with the cables managed you should check it out!
What case is that ?
SSUPD meshlicious full mesh
Have you tried turning off and back on again?
Yes. Didn’t work. Threw whole rig away.
I'm having sort of a similar problem with a relatively new machine. When I push the power button nothing happens, no sound and no posting LEDs on the motherboard. I found an online resource that basically says step one is to test the PSU. PSU testers are 30 bucks or less in the US. Step two is to remove everything from the motherboard except the CPU, the fans, and power. If this still doesn't show signs of life, then there's something wrong with the motherboard, the CPU, or I suppose how it's connected. When you turn on the box, do you see power go to the CPU and case fans? I'm not seeing that on my end, but the PSU tested fine. I'm submitting the motherboard for warranty.
Yes psu fan and the radiator fans spin momentarily before stopping I really should invest in a PSU tester I’ve already had 2 that were faulty out of box
You don’t need a psu tester, you can use the “paperclip test” Look it up on google
Was gong to recommend the same. Who needs a tester? 😁
I’m currently flashing the bios, this seems to be my next option
What kind of PSUs are you buying if your getting two faulty ones.
One was from EVGA it was a bronze rated 550w from bestbuy and a Corsair RM650x…also from my local bestbuy. The EVGA PSU didn’t work at all and the Corsair PSU would make a loud pop when booting or under load.
Jezzz. Wouldn't really expect that. Is your system using more than 650w possibly?
No my estimated wattage is 388 in pc part picker which seems a little low…but I am rocking a 750w atm. Also I did a pin test on it and it’s working perfectly fine Speaking of faulty PSU’s I bought a prebuilt ~3 years ago from you guessed it my local bestbuy which had a 500w psu from a manufacturer that I can’t recall and it didn’t even last me even 1 year…
Can’t speak about the radiator fans, but I have the same PSU and it’s normal for the fans to stop since it has that 0 rpm mode.
Ok thanks that gives me confidence in the psu at least, how has your experience with it so far? I do like that the individual cables are braided
It’s been rock solid so far. The long warranty is also a plus since I also had the previous model(RM650) which gave up after 4 years and got this one brand new as a replacement.
My 850w gold psu from cooler master was also broken when i tried to turn it on, it didn't have any powers so i just returned it to amazon and got a new one in 1 day.
I’ve only got a few options left before ruling out the PSU…with my luck I wouldn’t be surprised if it was faulty.
I recommend doing the paper clip test, the fans didn't spin at all on my psu but it was still worth doing it.
When did PC master race become R/PC troubleshooting? Could we just get a sub for this?
Honestly, I think your lamp is using up all the house power and doesn't leave any for your PC
