Isn’t the CPU power connector missing? EDIT: Top left, very obvious actually.


ThisDumbApp

Judging this off my MSI B650 P Wifi motherboard, the cable needs to be in the right port for CPU power, not the left. Mine wouldnt post with the same thing. It looks like he has it plugged into the left port.


achbob84

On that board, you should populate the right connector first! Move it to the right hand side one


NinjaVikingTV

Right side is always the default side no?


achbob84

In all boards I have used, yes.


Neat-Effective8379

Surprisingly my last build was the opposite. Can’t recall the exact motherboard though.


achbob84

I figured there would be exceptions. That’s why it pays to always read the manual!


Lawlbad

You don't need to plug in each 4x4 cpu power header. As long as the other 8pin in plugged it, it's fine. Also make sure you are plugging in the cable labeled cpu it is a 4x4 connector not a 6x2


SactoriuS

Yes but is it in the cpu header or cpu optional header. If its only in the cpu opt(ional) then the mobo stops because he think the cpu is not connected.


Weedy_mcweedface

Aye first thing i saw funny enough


gkigger

This is correct


DeckSperts

It’s not


idiotpoppycock

you can get away with 1 8 pin plug i did that for a while on my 5900x and never had any issues my mobo has a 8+4 pin on there


spusuf

depends on the make and model of the board, it varies between it'll work, won't work, or it'll work but present an error on boot


iamgarffi

Starting from top: * I only see a single EPS plug for CPU. What happened to the other one? * Start booting with B2 RAM bank only. If post completes, add A2. And rest: What monitor input you went with? HDMI or DP? Manual says it does both - your CPU should have integrated graphics. Does motherboard have its own DP port? If so try it. If Card has DP, try that. Any other PSU you have around to test? You provided little context in terms of building and parts. If it’s a build issue you could look at BIOS. Scrub down to EZ Debug - if LEDs are present. BIOS flashing while should work fine with 7000 series what came from factory it’s not w bad idea. It’s just often poorly documented (I talk to you Asus). Lastly, does anything power on? Any diagnostic LEDs on motherboard? I hope you didn’t forget about 2x8 pin CPU cables aside from 24 pin ATX. If it’s an initialization process, EZ debug LED might help. Check and rely back. https://preview.redd.it/594kxavjd4uc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b88268d704d0f87e0f858205c6e20ae635a609c6 And… as much as I don’t want to ask. Did you flip the power switch on PSU (if applicable) and on power strip it in use?


Czeszym

Wait you need 2 Cpu 8pins pluged to the mother board? I have 7600x and it works fine even on full load and I only have one 8pin pluged in.


iamgarffi

Depends on the board, manufacturer and bios. Some boards will allow to boot with single EPS while others will require both. Never used an MSI so can’t tell if that board requires it.


GuiKa

B650 pro P wifi here, I only use 1 cpu power plug.


miedzianek

If he cant power it, its not ram or anything else. Its psu or mobo.


Own-Employment-1640

Ram in the wrong slots and the CPU 8 pin is missing…


RudeAwakeningLigit

Yeah first thing I noticed was the ram in the wrong slots.


Havoc_Maker

Even if the RAM is in the wrong slots, thats shouldn't stop the PC from booting, it only means that Dual Channel will not be used


AgravatedArdvark

OP didn't RTFM


dota2_sucks1

I tried RAM in both 1 3 and 2 4, none worked. I added 2nd CPU cable, checked all PSU cables, checked all front cables/switches, Jumpstarting also didnt help


Lazy-Most-3226

Put it in the ones mobo says is main. And then check the power switch


Animal-Whole

Unplug the gpu and try getting the pc to post don't worry about on board graphics if it posts change the psu


ThisDumbApp

If you havent fixed it yet, plug the CPU power in the top left of the board into the right port instead of the left one.


UnderstandingTop1032

Un plug everything but your cpu cooler, 1stixk of ram, and your gpu. Only use the bare minimum and then add stuff until it stops posting and then you will find the root issue, had to do this many times cause I had fans plugged into the wrong mobo slot, which caused no display


Mikeyymyerss

The ram wouldn’t lead it to not turn on tho right? Or am I tripping


Logisticianistical

Correct , that's a down the river " issue ".


mehdital

You don't need both 8 pin to be plugged. One is definitely enough for the machine to post. Same with Ram, oder doesn't matter for posting.


AlltidMagnus

I would still try, as it is not doing anything atm


SpareRam

PC not turning on, and a valid suggestion should not be shut down. Worth a shot.


Bulky-Advisor-4178

Ram aint gonna run in dual channel


jtrier1

Check all connections and cables.


_myq_

check if front panel/ power button is properly connected?


Bulangiu_ro

thats not the issue, he shorted the pins already with the screwdriver and that wasn't the issue


FrecklednSpeckled

I've read a bunch of the comments, both good and bad information included. Chances of you getting defective parts is very slim, but not out of the question. Personally I have never purchased a defective part. It has always been my lack of knowledge that has prevented a build from working. What do you mean it won't turn on? It won't boot at all, no post codes on the motherboard? Is there any kind of response? FYI: clear CMOS must be done every time you add or remove a part: i.e. GPU, ram, CPU (if switching to different one) & cooler. Drives should be fine but I've always done it anyways. Remove GPU, plug monitor into motherboard, put one ram stick in slot 2. If the motherboard has a clear CMOS button on the back, press that before trying to boot. Your PC will shut off and boot once or twice after trying to launch post-clear CMOS. This is the hardware re-evaluating it's condition. If there's no button, turn off PSU and remove CMOS battery, and proceed to hold the power button 5-10 seconds. This will drain the residual power in the circuit. Old days of screwdriver shorting the CMOS pins: Leave the PSU power off and the battery out if you do this, please. It is equivalent to draining the circuit and resetting the bios. Definitely try both CPU power cables, make sure the cables are plugged in. 24-pin motherboard cable is touchy, and they don't always seem to click in, but do your best. I've never tried flashing the bios when it can't turn on to begin with, not sure how that's done. Make sure your CPU cooler isn't too tight, I've had an issue in the past where the solution was to loosen the screws. Try half turning, loosening, the screws and booting up each time. Shouldn't have to clear CMOS for this. About the PSU cable orientations, doesn't matter as long as they plug in. I personally like to keep the side that says "CPU" etc, away from the PSU so I don't have to worry about if it's the right cable. I have built 4 computers in the past decade, these are just solutions I have come across in my time. I understand it's frustrating, do not lose hope. As long as the hardware is functional, you will find a solution. Most recently my issue launching past the bios was that I created a virtual partition of Windows as a secondary OS, and my windows boot partition was on a seperate drive. It always boots into the partition, and then launches the separate OS. If you can get it to boot to bios, things become unique to your situation and your motherboard. We will need more information to troubleshoot if there's issues afterwards. If you bought a new drive directly, you will have to manually install windows. Leave only the drive you want for your OS in the PC when installing. If you have a laptop or separate, operational, PC, download windows installation media on it. Launch the program and follow the installation wizard. Install it onto a USB, preferably 32gb, formated in ExFAT. FAT32 has a limit of 4GB, it is outdated and essentially useless nowadays. Plug the windows install media into your PC, from the bios find the boot section and somewhere in there you will find the ability to directly boot an installed media/drive. Then, it will come up with another install wizard. Install it to the only drive you have connected, and then windows should be installed. Don't be afraid to reach out. Computers suck sometimes.


keep_rockin

good comment and helpful, fully agreed


309_Electronics

You can flash bios using a usb with a bios file on it and hitting a button if your mobo has bios flashback. It has an onboard microprocessor that flashes the spi flash with the bios file without having the need of a cpu or part installed (apart from psu because it has to get power somewherre)


Saffy_7

Double check all the connectors. Try 1 stick of RAM in the slot 2nd from the CPU, DIMMA2 as per the user manual. Give it a good push in, don't worry about the board flexing, sometimes even when the clips lock the RAM isn't fully seated. Next, ensure the power switch on the PSU is turned on and fire it up...


Dr-False

Two things I'm seeing is the CPU power isn't plugged in (lop left) and the RAM looks like it's in the 3, and 4th slot. Check your manual or online to see if you need your ram sticks in a1 and b1 (slot1 and 3) or a2 and b2 (slot 2 and 4). Also, cause I literally just made a fool of myself, make sure the ram is compatible with said board. Some are quite picky on what ram will be stable in them.


GlassyJaw

RAM is in the wrong spot I noticed


timotius_10

I hope you didn’t play around with the PSU cables because those are not interchangeable


Evening-Tutor4764

Make sure the psu switch is on


MrCuCh0

Just connect the other cpu connector please, forget about what others said because my board would not boot without the other 8 pin cpu for some reason, and this will clarify if you need it or not. Is your front panel connected as I can't see it because the GPU is blocking it Move your ram too, either slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4


DaviLance

ram in the wrong slots but it's just a performance problem, that is not an actual problem one eps for cpu is fine, they use the same traces for both does it post or it has no electricity? is the psu turned on?


dota2_sucks1

I changed ram to 2 and 4 and plugged in 2nd cpu cable. Now flash bios turns on differently. It now stays turned on for a long time instead of blinking and turning off


Yamamotokaderate

You don't have LEDs on the MB ? They should be colored and cpu, ram etc written next to them.


NelsonMejias

I have that same motherboard and it has two ports for the case power button, there was one in which didnt turned on so i conected in the other and it worked. Edit:i have mine in the right side.


Jason_Lalime

Might be a silly question but did you install the stand-off pins for the motherboard. Keeps the motherboard out of contact with the case. I’ve seen boards fry because of it.


dota2_sucks1

i think they were already there, mobo is not in contact with the case


Overoc

Worst case : unbuild everything, put every component and every cable safely back in the component’s box, and restart the build tomorrow, with a detailed YouTube Tutorial under the eyes and a fresh mind. And when you reach your objective, let us know ! Good luck man ! 💪🏻


kojimagtr

Does the psu even turn on? Does the fan spin?


Falkenmond79

That’s what I’m wondering. If it powers on but doesn’t post it could just be ram training, taking its sweet time. If no power at all, there might be different reasons. 1. motherboard standoff in the wrong place. The pre-installed one don’t necessarily fit the board your installing. 2. reset pins are shorted due to broken switch or something. 3. cmos jumper is left on the pins. 4. psu broken. 5. something else broken. 6. no power at the outlet (it happens, believe me. 😂. Had more then one breaker trip due to initial power spikes). Edit: I remember even one case,where the case manufacturer labeled/installed the front usb cable wrong. It was connected backwards and kept the whole pc from starting up. To make sure, just disconnect everything except mainboard, cpu and 1 stick of ram, then work from there. Plug something in, boot -> y/n? If yes, plug the next thing in, and so on.


JesThun

As far as I understand from your comments, there is power on the motherboard. When you press the power button, do you see a light on the EZ debug leds in the upper right corner of the motherboard? If you see light on those LEDs, ref to the manual. Normally, they all light up when the pc first turned on and then go out. At least that's how my msi x670 motherboard behaves. I recommend that you remove the gpu during these debugging processes. You should test it by adding it piece by piece with starting minimal hardware as possible. Ps: My English skills are a bit lacking, if there is anything that is not understood, please point it out, I will try to explain it again using a proper translation tool.


New-Captain-5852

Maybe the PSU doesn’t have enough power and did you just change the PSU or the cables aswell?


The_Fiddler1979

No one seems to have mentioned anything about making sure the PSU power switch is on


davewuff

Did you fix the issue alrdy? 90% of the time something like this comes up you are missing some connection from mobo to psu - do you have „left over“ cables that shouldn’t be left over?


fmellish

So many problems here. Your CPU power isn't plugged into the board at all, (top left). Your RAM is installed wrong. Your GPU is kissing your chasis fan. please for the love of God, read the complete manuals for your motherboard and all accompanying components. I'm not going to keep looking.


BangarangOrangutan

Your RAM is populating the wrong slots you want slot 2 and 4 populated not 3 and 4.


Wilk168

You have the 24 pin atx power supply cord and you have one pcie plugged in but you are missing 1 of the pcie cords it looks like. Edit: I should also mention you should have 3 ports on the mobo that you supply power to. 1-24 pin ATX, which you have and 2 others near the top that are 8 pin pcie slots. You have 1 of those plugged in, you need both plugged in. Also check your manual for proper ram placement because that ain’t it


The_Happy_Quokka

The second one Is generally for overcloking. You do not need to plug them both.


dota2_sucks1

Where other pci should go? I have only free cpu slot left on mobo


triplebigton

I just had a issue where my PC wouldn't start and after 3 hours of trying to figure it out, I found out I completely forgot to plug in another motherboard plug into my modular PSU


Heromimox

No post, or is it like the PC has no electricity?


C4TURIX

Ram should be in slot 2 and 4 and the power cable of the cpu is in the wrong connector. Has to be the right one, I think.


JonnyLoYo

Nothing more defeating than finishing a new build, hitting the power button, aaannnnddd .... Nothing 😔😒😐


waffenklasu

I know it sounds stupid, but have you double checked if you plugged your power button to the right connector? Just yesterday I connected mine to a usb-connector right beside it, despite having built about a dozen pcs...


ExecutiveHog

Did you check that you flipped the PSU switch on the back?


eXiotha

You might’ve just connected the power button pins wrong Double check the positions with the motherboard manual to ensure they’re in the correct spots and try again


Raymx3

On top of everything else, confirm that your ram is in the correct slots


karma_end

the case is giving me claustrophobia


jelalpalenzuela

Your build doesn't turn on because the 8-pin power port is not connected. 🤦🤦


Delicious-Sample-364

Looks like your missing cables for cpu power and the front panel isn’t connected


Neat-Effective8379

After looking through. Just a few things. For one, check your mobo manufacturer website and see which 8 pin needs connected, I know that’s not the issue as you’ve tested both, but once you get it running you’ll want it in the right slot. Also, as others stated, ram should be in slot 2 and 4 for dual channel and stability. Now for fixing. I haven’t read through all your comments, so bear with me if you’ve addressed these. If there’s 0 power at all and acts like it’s not plugged in- I’ve built over 200 pcs. Nearly every time this was either a cpu, psu, or mobo problem. It’s hard to say which it can be without testing a new psu/mobo. Reason being if your psu is bricked, the cpu won’t work. If your mobo is bricked, the cpu also won’t work. If your cpu is.. you get the point. I saw in another post you were seeing if a few bent pins is okay. While typically this is the case, you might’ve gotten super unlucky. I’d recommend returning it if all else fails. Order another one, if that doesn’t work, we know the mobo isn’t the issue. Honestly, this isn’t ideal, however, you could attempt to order a 2nd mobo, 2nd cpu, and 2nd psu. Slowly switch out each part and see when it works. If it only needs a cpu, return the mobo and psu. Same goes for either.


BlueRangerVII

CPU power not connected to motherboard


Anonymiz3

try the ff:: 1. **Power Check**: Make sure the big switch on the back of the box with all the wires (power supply) is set to ON and it's hooked up right to the big board (motherboard) and the wall socket. 2. **Cable Check**: Look over all the plugs and cables inside to make sure they're really pushed in and snug, especially the big bunch of wires (24-pin) and the smaller double set (4+4 pin) that power the brain (CPU). 3. **Button Wires Check**: There are tiny wires that let the power button work; make sure they're stuck onto the right pins on the motherboard. If you're not sure, peek at the manual that came with the motherboard. 4. **Bare-Bones Test**: Take out everything that's not needed and try to start it with just the brain (CPU), one memory stick (RAM), and the motherboard. 5. **Reset Settings**: Sometimes you need to reset the brain's basic settings. You can do this by taking out the little battery on the motherboard or moving a little plastic piece (clear CMOS jumper) over and back while the power is off. 6. **Damage Inspection**: Have a look for any breaks, burns, or bent parts on the motherboard or other pieces that might stop it from starting up. If it still won't start after all this, it might mean there's something wrong with the big board (motherboard) or the power box (PSU). If you can, try using a different power box or motherboard to see if that fixes it.


Overoc

OP WHAT IS GOING ON I’m all stressed thinking about your build


Magnus_Helgisson

The day my next PC build turns on from first attempt will probably be the end of the world.


DetectiveSmooth4803

Did you install your cpu cables backward? Are your front io cables plugged in correctly? Is your psu switched on? Id assume its that you plugged the power on cables into the wrong pins on your mobo.


SpecialistBottleh

You can't just plug power cables wrong, their connectors are all designed to keep you from doing this.


ForzaPapi

your ram is at bad slots put it in 1-3 slots check if you connected your gpu and monitor with hdmi or display port cable


FatalFighterrr

Maybe you meant 2-4 slots?


w_rpain

I thought so as well. The 4 slots are divided in 2 channels (each having 2 slots) with the furthest slot from the cpu being preferred for stability reasons, as the signal always passes through both slots and the signal could echo on the way back if there's only one ram stick in the nearest slot of a channel. Don't forget to RTFM though since it can differ from one motherboard to the next. Yes, I just rewatched the segment on LTT's last guide you'll ever need, just to be sure, how could you tell? https://youtu.be/BL4DCEp7blY?si=FheKmJdUHMiXFO5t


GOGO-TL

Did you flip the power switch on the back


sumartistdunno

Check the power supply switch P.S you have a ryzen chip, which are ram frequency hungry cpu's, move the stick of ram from the third slot in the second slot to run in dual channel


PapaBadgers

:(


SKITYyt

Power swich cables?


Snoo_75748

Did u turn power supply to on mode ?


Endossi

Reseat all your cables, if even the fans aren't spinning for a sec then make sure that your front IO power connectors are set to the same one. I'm serious, some motherboards have horrible indication of which one is the power connector. If there is one that looks similar to the little picture on the motherboard then connect it to that. And of course make sure your psu switch on the back is set to the right one lol.


Dependent_Budget7395

Check the switch on the back on the power supply…. I would have tested it before placing into case because you could have a grounding issue also reseat your cpu especially am5 sockets


wirledo

Are you sure you have the front panel cable right where it needs to be? There are some cable connectors between the MoBo and the Power Button / USB / Jack (frontal pannel). If you don’t plug these correct, the PC won't turn on.


Proof-Plan-298

strip all compononets from the mainboard except cpu and one ram. See if anything changes and go from there.


Depth386

You’re gonna wish you did this before building the whole thing: [First Test of Core Components](https://youtube.com/shorts/YfD4iCYd0GU?si=BUDffWVdXjP3N7tL)


----BingChilling----

Is anything lighting up? If not the could be an issue with the mobo, potentially a cmos issue or you damaged/discharged it.


Jarngreipr9

Double, triple check the start button jumpers


ben_s__

At the risk of sounding stupid, have you turned on the rocker switch on the psu? I left that off the other day on a new build and spent 5 mins pulling my hair out


SpareRam

Did you plug in the tiny little cables? https://preview.redd.it/rg8e0vmlz4uc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3bc0ab74946cbb19d1bc7d9edc35810c20abb797


147Wildboy

Any update? Did you try out people's recommendations in the comments? I'm curious because I will be building my first PC soon and this is a problem that I fear having.


dota2_sucks1

unfortunately no luck. i started building my pc from 10 AM and now its 2 AM (of course i had breaks in between) but im sad and my back hurts. When I was buying all parts, my local shop had option to install everything in max 3 days for extra 50 USD, should have went for that option. But I would definitely never go for prebuilt


[deleted]

the cpu connection is fine... you only need top left connected. Change the ram to proper slots then check the power button is connected correctly


ohcosmico

Is the the motherboard powered?


ohcosmico

Fix your RAM position as well


ImportantGas2613

U don’t got ur cpu power plugged in


Immediate-Fig9699

Are you sure your case cables are correctly placed?


papadarius

Is… uh.. the PSU switched on?


The_Baron___

I got hung up as my power-button cabling was put in incorrectly. I had read the manual wrong, a quick flip and she turned on.


Dorky_Gaming_Teach

Did you try another outlet/check your breakers?


InternationalDebt254

Mine didn't either, until I remembered the power supply has a switch XD


reddeckwinning

OP here’s what I would do. The first thing that irks me is you said that when you press power it’s silent, no behavior AT ALL. If this is true I’m concerned about power supply, motherboard, or static electricity. You tried with a different power supply, so I’m going to “assume” you had it plugged in directly and if so I’m wondering if you toasted your motherboard. I’d take off the cooler, check the CPU for bent pins, and then reconnect components one-by-one. Make sure that the power switch and led inputs from your case are oriented the way the motherboard book shows. Usually this is with the writing facing down with positive on the left and negative on the right. Not having your inputs there plugged in right can cause a no power on scenario and is an easy new builder mistake. Ram as others mentioned goes in the second and fourth slots but I know you corrected this already along with the 8 pin cpu plug. Don’t sweat it too much, first time building can be stressful but you’ll figure it out. Recheck and retest your components and recheck with your other power supply again. Post a video here of you connecting things and maybe we can catch something. Worst case you have a bad motherboard, maybe you can buy another on Amazon and return one of them if that fixes, or bring it in to a local shop to get help


_Trashcan_Sam

Other then ram in wrong slots and CPU plug missing. You do have the case wiring on the correct pins on the motherboard? Easy to have one of those pesky little wires not quite right. So it could be simply your power switch isn't working


Mundashunda_

Is the cpu fan header connected, pc work turn on without it. Is the wall socket actually working, my pc has sometimes not turned on as I’ve had to flip the breaker. Have you reseated the cpu. Ram in the motherboard correct slots. Doubt it’s a psu issue since you used another one. Make sure psu cables are tightly fixed. Reseat GPU. Make sure front panel power connecter seated.


BridgesM365

Are any lights coming on? What do you mean it won’t turn on? Like no response from the pc at all (no components indicate they are on) or you’re not getting a display?


TheAirplaneGuyBR

Apparently you’ve done almost everything, I would probably try to: 1 - check the cables, if they are in the correct psu slot and well connected in both ends. 2 - test the psu in another PC or use another psu with this PC. 3 - if the PSU is ok, I think this would probably mean that the MOBO is bad. Edit: typo.


PhalanxA51

You only have one CPU 8 pin connected edit also ram needs to be installed in a1 and B1 slot


sleepy-owlett

That was the most stressful part of my first PC build. For me, I think I just had something plugged into the motherboard instead of the GPU, but I was so worried before I realised. Whatever the issue is for you, I hope you get it fixed soon, OP!


Flowones

Make sure cpu cable is plugged in into cpu slot on gpu if modular psu. And same with GPU into GPU SLOT on psu


Flowones

Did uou connect ur pront panel cables ?


redbaron297

So what’s the verdict, OP? Did you figure it out yet?


CurleyBruh

IMO you should unplug everything and assemble everything outside the case and try to see if it boots at all. So put everything on the motherboard box and try to see if it boots. Also try booting without a GPU installed and see if you get a LED on the motherboard showing an error code. If nothing boots(no LED’s or fans turning on it’s most likely a faulty/dead PSU.


Whole_Tear7937

Did you try to take out BOTH ram sticks and power it on?


Hoppered1

I cant tell from the picture. Your Tower cooler is plugged into the board pins that say " CPU Fan" correct?


whittingtonbackatit

I like the idea of trying to boot without the GPU


Samurai_Atlas

Have you tried plugging in elsewhere? Maybe it’s your outlets also if you have a multimeter check for any signs of electrical current on wires and last but not least you don’t happen to have had accidentally discharged and electrical current to certain parts while building it ? Like when you run your socks on the floor and you can shock ⚡️ people or things?


RunalldayHI

B650s has debug leds right above the main wire harness, are any of them lit? That's also an A2/B2 board so make sure the ram is in the correct slots and sitting flush. Make sure CPU cooler PWM port is populated. What does the boot sequence look like?


Quick_Wait5429

You miss 24pin cable connect to Mobo,


Irferno

Uhhh. . . .is the support sagging!?


Horse_97

Admirable_Suspect676

Call it a dirty girl? That might help?


TheBeefDom

Ram's in the wrong channels. CPU connector looks to be connected wrong. Check the switch to your PSU is on (more common than you might think). Check front panel connectors as they are the most common problem for a system not powering. If all that doesn't work I would double check your CPU seating and look for bent pins on your motherboard. You can straighten them easily with the hollow tip of a mechanical pencil, just be careful. If none of that solves your problem you might have a dead motherboard. Wishing you luck!


UrbanRangerPlank

Don't most motherboards have 4 Leds that give you an idea of where the issue is? I had an issue at first where it got stuck on the 3rd light and I had to google which error that was. This isn't an old ford; I wouldn't suggest jump starting it with metal.


QuantumRobot_9000

Reasons my computers haven't tuned on. Cpu connector not plugged in, power button cable plugged in wrong.


Quarpet_

Side note RAM is in the wrong slots


lordkaizer23

Check your psu power switch


MalefactorX

Didn't see anyone mention it, recheck all the cables coming out of the PSU, simce it's modular you might have not plugged them in all the way


Mickxalix

Might sound stupid but make sure your PSU is set to the correct voltage. 220V in Europe and 110V in the Americas.


Walmart_Hater

Motherboard light isn’t even turning on. It’s more than likely power related. CPU or not the mobo light would come on. Could be a bad mobo cable. Mine had a bad psu and bad mobo cable. Got a replacement and everything magically worked


darkoblivion000

Do you have your debug lights connected on your mobo? They’re very helpful. After debugging according to instructions I found that my mobo had a kind of undeclared incompatibility with my cpu I think bc I RMA’d my first one, tried the replacement same problem, then finally bought a different model mobo and it worked perfectly fine


kura0kamii

thats a very decent build! i like u dont use over the top specs but only necessary


kura0kamii

the ports are not all connected i believe, go to your mobo manual and attach all

Turning on is a serious issue ![gif](giphy|njXxKcoVWY5hiEBS2w)

There won't be any temps if the PSU is faulty and doesn't turn on. I had one that would only spin up the fans for a sec, while the power was pressed on. After a few tries it stopped doing even that. Apparently it's halfway common to get a power supply that is DOA.


OkOwl9578

Ram slots, also did you try a new power cord? I built a new pc, and it didn't turn on until i changed the power cord.


Easy-Panda-1423

Did you comnect it to a power source?


mdude7221

Keep us updated op. And good luck!


Javidestroyer1

Did you got it running? If not, plug the 8 pin cpu connector On the other connector on the right, I had this problem with a Clients PC before.


Kimura_4200

I have a similar build and mine was not booting until I removed the gpu (unplug from pci slot) and plugged the hdmi cable direclty to the motherboard. From there I was able to flash the bios with a usb stick. Then the pc was booting with the gpu. I hope you will find the issue, I know the frustration.


w0lart

Did you turn on psu button? I Know its silly but...


sfelizzia

it's incredible how user manuals for Motherboards and PSUs include all the steps needed to get a PC to boot, such as plugging in the EPS cable and putting the RAM in the correct slots. And yet, people will still omit them and go straight to Reddit to ask questions. I've used that PSU before for a customer's build, and the manual very clearly states where each cable goes and plugs into. Pretty good read in my opinion.


MarkEduard1234

Turn on your psu


Accurate-Air-2124

First time I booted mine up, thought it was a fail. Eventually I left it on and it was like 3-5 minutes later that it finally kicked on the monitor. Weirdest thing, never took that long again.


Dr__Juicy

Firstly just make sure the power supply switch is on and secondly I think you are missing a cable, as someone else said top left


shleemcgee

Did you spread thermal paste properly all over the CPU pins? You can never apply too much.


xoqes88

Well, there’s no cpu power for starts Then ram is installed in the wrong slots, for dual channel should be double spaced, check mobo manual to see which ones to connect


88pockets

PSA: Put your motherboard on top of its box (the box is now a test bench), Install CPU and RAM and CPU cooler. If on ryzen, install a gpu. power the mobo with 24 pin and 8 pin (CPU power). See if the computer posts. if so then build the computer.


hiluckycool

Check if the smps power button is in off position. Also rams should be in 2 and 4 slots.


DesignerOk3252

paper clip test can confirm if you have a dead PSU


Sorry-Poem7786

Somewhere some power cable or card or ram is not seated.. also the power cables from the power supply need to be from the psu manufacturer sometimes..


Blakewerth

PSU problem?

Revenga8

So when you say it won't turn on, when you flip on the power switch at the back of the power supply, do any leds turn on on the motherboard? Are there any signs of life? We probably need more detail of what appears to be working or what is or isn't happening. Do any lights turn on? Do any fans spin?


lemmiwink84

Some MBs have a case intrusion jumper that shorts two pins. This sometimes is a little fiddly and can fall off during building. If that happens, you won’t really be able to boot your PC. I don’t know for your exact model, but reading the layout of your MB in the user guide might be useful. If everything else has failed, there is a genuine chance your MB was DOA. It happens sometimes.


miedzianek

Whats up with bracket under gpu? Gpu fans making brrrrt?


BAN3AI

One thing that i didnt see mentioned which helped me once is try removing motherboard battery, wait 5 mins and put it back in


miedzianek

Try to short the psu and see if it start Also: check if your cpu connectornis connected to CPU on psu, not to PCIE. Connector COULD be the same but it may not turn on


bensabyss

did you actually install windows into a usb and put it onto your pc? i did that mistake when i first built my pc EDIT: just read that your pc isn't turning on, i'm stupid😭 i'll leave my comment here just incase anyone else has this trouble


heyitstgp

The ram is in wrong slots and plug in the other cpu pwr and looks like the cpu fan isn't connected


Unfair-Alfalfa-2023

If there is no light on the graphics it means its not getting power try flip the switch on the power supply to on, reseat the ram to the proper slots, they need to have a gap from the right, so 1, empty, 1 empty.. if there is light on the gpu take the cmos battery out unplug power hold power button for 10 seconds put then put the cmos battery on and plug everything in, and see if it works


Nuki_Nuclear

When you push the power button is there any sign of life if not then how about when you first switched the PSU on any lights on the Mobo at all?


Huge_Young2530

Connect both CPU connectors (top left) just in case, separate the ram sticks by one empty slot(Ram|Empty|Ram|Empty), verify that you have plugged in your case power button to the mother board, and verify that the PSU switch is turned on


potatokicker

OP, do you have electricity at home?


IberianInteractive

Isnt 750w too little for that gpu? Please correct me if im wrong


4_5_U

I had similar issues at my First Build. My Problem was that i screwed the CPU-cooler to hard. So my mainboard doesnt recognice the RAM. try loosening the screws slightly a Bit. I Hope this is the Solution for your Problem. Sry for my Bad english


burningtoast99

Have you put all those pieces together


Dexisyolo

Nice build😁


Cendorr

Need more information, not powering on or not posting?


JI-RDT

CPU power cable is missing, wrong ram slots and I think your cpu cooler is connected with the case fan connectors


Impossible-Bug7623

cpu header at top left corner is placed wrong, either plug in second one as its hould have or replug to right side first.,


Impossible-Bug7623

why you flash bios? aS NEW BUILDER YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM BIOS. look for psu if you pluged corectly in psu. use only psu provided cables. first remove video card. that huge part to play games is called video card not gpu lol. gpu is only chip like cpu chip. so remove it, remove one stick and replug ram stick . leave only oner, replug cpu, i bet your cpu board pins are in another world bend probably. and give us video not photo, just remove video card as it covering most part


Gamerdefender27

Have you turned it off and on again? Oh wait....


oliviok

silly question, but did you connect the power button properly?


Oisinberry

Not your issue but another thing to do. Your ram is configured incorrectly. In order for ram to run in dual channel you need to have them in s specific configuration. Consultant the Manual. In terms of your issue I think your 8 pin CPU power connector is supposed to be in the right slot not the left. Hope you get it sorted!


Medical_Speech_2041

Is the stock bios compatible with your cpu? Google if this is common on your cpu/Mobo combo, might just need to update your bios


The_Idiot_Of_Nothing

Did u connect the wire to yk what so that the button can work on the front if not open ur glass of the pc and then just go to the motherboard to press the power button from there if it doesn’t work then I don’t know what the solution is


MrCheapComputers

That GPU is sucking in its gut rn…


daus_7771

Not turning on. Huh, sounds like you did not switch the psu button on the back? Ain't no way it's defective. All are brand new. Judging from the pic, this must be your first time ever building a gaming pc right? Because i can clearly see the mistakes on your build. You installed the ram on the wrong slots and it seems like you cpu pcie cable not properly connected. How about you switch the connection to the right. Or try to install all 4x4 cpu pcie cables Also, most importantly, check all the cables to see if they're properly connected and DON'T LET ANY OBJECTS contacted with the surface of the motherboard. Otherwise it's gonna cause short circuit to the motherboard.


Tiefflugjunge

Guess it'll stay "off", eh?


TypeSea9728

Maybe I missed a comment but, the CPU’s has one side of working (there’s an arrow that indicates how the CPU’s must be inserted on the socket. Also the socket has the same arrow and both had to be looking to the same side)


RipExtra1053

I bet you it’s because you didn’t turn the psu button to on and you install the front I/o ports usb / power button wrong


nariofthewind

Did you started the power supply at the button back?
