Built my computer but its not turning on, I plugged in everything but its still not booting up. Thousands of dollars fucking wasted
>>
Bump someone help me
>>
It could be you didnt turn the psu on
The cables arent properly plugged in
The bios version isnt updated to support a cpu
some part is broken
>>
>>109415194
I turned on the psu, I plugged in everything according to what the manual says. Idk what else to do, I pushed power but the only thing turning on is the ramsticks. Fans arent turning the gpu isnt on.
>>
>>109415110
I'll give you $100 for it as it sits and I'm being generous
You probably fucked the cpu pins
>>
Does mobo error lights turn on
Ensure the mobo bios supports the cpu.
Try replug parts.
>>
>>109415110
1) Do the fans cut on?
2) Did you check your motherboard led light?
Can't help you any further until you answer these question.
>>
You probably lodged a screw between the GPU and the metal gamer case. RIP

This happened to a customer when I worked at Best Buy. Gamers that feel the need to spend $2K to assemble a computer with no instructions were some of the biggest fucking retards I ever met.
>>
>>109415240
Cpu pins are untouched

>>109415245
No nothing lights up except for the ramsticks
>>
>>109415264
The fans dont turn on

Motherboard led doesnt turn on except for the ramsticks
>>
>>109415110
The problem a lot of new computer builders run into is direct compatibility with other parts and a lack of patience when connecting parts of the computer.

Take everything apart, make sure it works with the setup you have, then slowly but surely connect things one at a time and troubleshoot from there.

>>109415245
>Make sure X supports Y
Agreed. Oftentimes folks will get too into the online hype and just forget to check if the parts are directly compatible with each other.
>>
>>109415280
I'll try to ill take the motherboard out from the casing.

Did you check if your ram was in the correct slots?

Btw anyone know why this tripcode is used 1000s of times?

Check the front panel power switch wires. Ensure the 24-pin and 8-pin power cables are fully clicked in, then test for a short circuit.
>>
You probably have the power supply set to the wrong region and it's tripping overvoltage protection. There's a little red two position slider on the back of the power supply (by the power plug) - move it to the other setting and try it again.
>>
>>109415266
maybe your bios version isnt compatible with your cpu like >>109415245 said. for example the i had a b450 motherboard for a ryzen 5000 series the bios needed an update to support the new 5000 series otherwise it would only work with 3000 series if i remember correctly. if your motherboard has a usb flash update feature you can do this easily
>>
If it has on-cpu graphics, try removing the gpu and re-try. Actually, remove as much as you can for a minimal system and then re-add things one-by-one.
>>
>>109415290
Yes they were
>>109415297
I'll try i got everything unplugged
>>109415303
Its a ryzen 5 9600x with a B850 mother board
>>
sir you are having a virus attacker on your netwirk this is making it to not turn on, take this now to run sfc scannow and dism health check for to get the attacker
if you need help pls let me know

Update, got the two cpu pins plugged in and the 24 pin atx 24p but it still doesnt turn on. I got the fans plugged into the cpu fan system
>>
>>109415324
Your fans are on wrong.
>>
>>109415324
>AMD
oooo who's gunna tell him?
ah fuck it. AMD CPUs are known for being DOA, or not being compatible with RAM even if said ram says it can work with AMD.
shoulda went with intel.
>>
>>109415356
What do you mean on the manual it says to put the exposed side facing out

>>109415358
I heard intel was worse
>>
>>109415380
you heard incorrectly from jews trying to sell you a product
>>
>>109415380
Not with that gap in the middle of the cooler. Fans go in middle and on the 24-pin side, like picrel
>>
>>109415428
who cares thats not gunna fix his amd issue
>>
>>109415352
maybe try re-seating your cpu? to me it seems like either a cpu or motherboard problem
>>
>>109415380
kek i just realized you put them both blowing towards the center
Wheres the air gonna go
Huh
Wheres it gonna go
Nowhere cause your computer dont work
But if it DID
your cpu temps would be higher than expected
>>
>>109415265
I did it without instructions and it works fine, I used graphene pads so I wouldn't have to take anything apart again, mini itx is a bitch to build, as all those tiny spaces
>>
>>109415449
while doing this remove the plastic protector on the cpu cooler for improved thermals
>>
>>109415412
Lol intelaviv trying to make a sale
>>
>>109415324
Lol is the CPU properly seated
>>
>>109415491
do whatever you want, but I have never had the issues I faced on AMD, on Intel.
>>
>>109415574
I've never had the issues I faced on intelaviv on AMD, namely stutters, sleep\wake issues, massive power usage spikes and just being a power hog dumpster fire overall, guess that's why they went tsmc

Also a rectangular CPU, who the fuck wants that garbage lol

I had this problem a few years ago when I tried to build a PC, everyone I asked for advice was wrong, I asked for weeks and almost ended up returning the components.
The problem ended up being that I was plugging the PSU power cable in backwards (the plug was able to jam into the motherboard slot but it was shorting it out, I had to rotate it 180 degrees and it worked)
>>
>>109415601
The 3 pin connector, how is that even possible
Also the other connectors come with clips so that it's obvious how they're supposed to connect, genuine 70 iq move
>>
>>109415626
Yeah I'm tarded, that was genuinely the issue though, so maybe OP is having the same issue.
>>
>>109415110
did you turn on the i/o switch
>>
Put all your parts into pcpartpicker and see if there’s any compatibility warnings and share a link to the list
>>
>>109415809

It happened to me as a kid too haha. Really made me feel like an idiot, my mom was the one who switched it on. Felt so relieved when it worked.
I never really thought of it happening to someone else but its a nice story to hear. thanks anon.
>>
If you're so stressed out during your build because 1000 bucks is a non trivial amount of money to you, PC building is not for you, go buy a game console or something.
>>
>>109415215
It's always the power supply. It's probably dead. I don't know why. But I'm telling you. The power supply is the problem

>>109415324
Update on your problem? Btw, it looks like your fans are pulling air from left and right to the middle, you want 1 air flow, probably from right to left, to your rear fan.
>>
>>109415324
Is your cooler actually plugged into the CPU FAN spot and not a random fan spot? Might not boot without a CPU Fan.
>>
>>109416004
Op said he's using a 9600x, what's this
>>
>>109415988
Op said the ram leds (lol) were working, it's either a cpu or motherboard error or something isn't plugged in
>>
>>109415110
Just go to a repair store with it TBDESU.

In my case it was MSI selling motherboards with old firmware for a chip you have to have a programmer for and they don't provide the blob on the download page anyway - the repair guy had to actually go back and forth with MSI support to get it sorted. Turns out you apparently can't be sure you get a working PC without checking the additional "we'll verify components and update the firmware for you" paid option. Jewish behaviour.

check motherboard site for cpu/ram compat.

Basically DDR5 ram compatibility is per motherboard and per cpu. If you're lucky, a bios update can fix it (modern mobo don't need to be able to boot to uefi to update).
Your mobo came out during the ryzen 7xxx era, so it's bios is likely out of date. Check the vendor site for details on updating uefi.

You need to make sure your ram part number matches the ones your motherboard support.

Honestly for $5k, just get it built in store, you'll get a warranty and it'll work right away when you get it.
>>
Did you plug the cpu power cable from the psu?
>>
>>109416112
Could it be memory training?
Do other lights and fans turn on during memory training?
>>
>>109415110
>Thousands of dollars fucking wasted
Oh no, guess you'll have to throw it all away ;_;
>>
>>109415988
This, had the exact same issue a few years ago
>>
>>109416004
jesus christ this is probably american too, PC gaming is gonna be dead in 5 years
>>
>>109415352
Even without the CPU or RAM seated, you would still see some POST activity. Ignore the fan shit. Focus on power. Triple check your PSU cables. Make sure they're seated properly (especially the big one to the motherboard). Your PSU has a power on/off switch. Make sure it's turned on.
>>
>>109415110
post a picture or a video of the whole build faggot
>>
>>109415380
>What do you mean
you need to flip the left fan, its blowing air to the middle of the cooler
>>
>>109415601
this is why you dont retard strength cables into the plugs
>>
>>109415110
Modern mobos can sometimes lock themselves up to prevent what they believe to be a short circuit somewhere. A full CMOS reset by removing the battery and leaving it off the power for an hour or two should do it to bring it back to live... assuming there's no real short.
There should be nothing else that causes it to not even turn the lights on. Well, unless it's fried or the PSU is fried.
>>
>>109415110
>Thousands of dollars fucking wasted
Why? Don't you have a warranty to replace anything faulty?
>>
>>109420316
warranties never cover user damage
