Asus Prime z370-p not booting

[filip.henggeler2]

Hello Community!

I'm building my first pc ever, so I'm quite a newbie...
I have the following problem:

My motherboard, when plugged in, just glows orange. No fan is turning, and even the cpu is not getting hot. I've triple-checked every power-supply connection, have checked if the ram is all the way in and it still doesent work. I dont know what to do anymore...

Here are my parts:

Mainboard: asus prime z370-p
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z (F4-3200C16D-16GTZSK)
GPU: ASUS GTX 1080ti STRIX 11G
CPU cooler: Be quiet! Pure rock
SSD: WD Blue 3d nand 1000gb
Case: NZXT h700i
CPU: Intel i7 8700k

Do you have any ideas?

Obviously, you have NOT double checked every possible issue, otherwise you would have found the problem by now. So my advice would be to take it ALL back apart, and bench test it FIRST which is what should probably have been done in the first place before everything was assembled in the case.

TRIPLE check everything here (Even if your THINK you've already checked it. Sometimes just unplugging and plugging back in a component is all it takes to fix a problem.):

Sorry, i failed to mention that I already went through the two guides you linked and also unplugged and plugged everything back in again. Do you have anymore ideas?

Yes, remove the CPU and make sure you didn't bend any pins on the motherboard socket.

Also, prior to doing that, verify that you've connected the CPU cooler fan to the motherboard CPU_FAN header. Many systems will not power on or will not stay powered on, if there is no CPU cooler reference signal.

Usually, these types of issues, when all the basics have been checked and the problem is happening to a first time builder, are related to bent pins from incorrectly installing the CPU. You may need a magnifying glass or high powered reading glasses to see any damage or irregularity (any pattern that looks "off") of the pin bed.

I'd also make sure you don't have the monitor connected to the motherboard graphics output, rather than to the GPU card graphics output. Easy mistake to make. I've seen seasoned builders do this by accident and run in circles trying to figure what they did wrong.

Maybe ALSO remove the graphics card, and TRY connecting to the motherboard video output using the integrated graphics. You can eliminate GPU card related issues at least.

Keep in mind as well, if you have memory slots that only have moving "locks" on one side, the other side STILL needs to have the memory pressed down until you hear it click on that side as well as on the other side. There should be audible clicks on both sides if the memory is correctly seated.

It's probably worth mentioning that the last 1000 first time builders I helped with similar issues all thought as you did, that everything was right, until they discovered that it wasn't.
