You plug your CPU power leads from your PSU into where the red rectangle is on the picture of your motherboard. This is where the CPU gets it's power from

A little of both actually. The cpu receives power from the m/b, but the m/b also requires either a 4 or 8 pin connector from the psu. The connector is located immediately above the cpu slot.

OMFG I THINK YOU SIR HAVE SAVED MY LIFE, NO WONDER MY NEW BUILT PC WONT GET A DISPLAY INPUT SIGNAL, IT DOESN'T TURN TO BIOS I WILL TRY THIS AND UPDATE YOU IN 60MINUTES <3.

 

[jay2577]

Okay Don't forget to let us know if it works.
You will probably have two seperate 4 pin connectors which will have to plug into that socket

Also if you have made that mistake building your computer you might have made others so be careful.

Tried it still nothing , I have a 6 pin and 8 pin connector on my r9 290x graphics card, it's currently plugged into 6 pin, but still nothing.

 

[jay2577]

Can you list all your components please including makes and models?
Include the power supply unit.
Also you will need to plug a 6 pin and 8 pin connector into your graphics card

I updated the thread, added all the components, also you said there's a 6 pin, and 8pin, the problem is the PCI-E, there's 2 types, one is a 6 pin, and another is another 6 pin identical, but this one has 2 extra pins that look like have been snapped off the 6?, so if you understand there actually is an 8 pin one, but its 6+2, and they're not broken or anything but they're just next to each other, idk if they can be joined together or not to make 8.

 

[jay2577]

I did mean 6 + 2 pin sorry and yes they do make up the 8 pin

 

[PedramCarter]

I did mean 6 + 2 pin sorry and yes they do make up the 8 pin

6 pin and 6+2 = 14 PINS, all 14 pins are now connected to my graphics card, the fan spins, the DVI TO DVI connected from my GPU to monitor, still nothing, (on my GPU there's 2 DVI slot) plugged it into the top one.
bios doesn't respond or beep or anything , CPU is now connected, CPU fan even spins, CPU is even connected, do you have skype by any chance, I can video chat you and show you?

 

[jay2577]

When you turn your computer on do your fans spin?
You do have the power button connected properly?

 

[jay2577]

I don't have skype sorry

I'm sorry I didn't mean to pick your answer as best answer, I accidently clicked it, but yeah fans spin, lights turn on, the motherboard even switched on, I even connected my case power button, and that works too.

 

[PedramCarter]

I don't have skype sorry

If it wouldn't be a problem, do you mind making skype I can do a one way call so you would only be able to see me and hear me only.

 

[jay2577]

I'm not really sure what else to suggest
Please just check everything again.
Make sure the ram is pushed in correctly and has clicked into place.
Make sure the video card is pushed correctly into the motherboard.
Make sure the motherboard power lead and the CPU ones are plugged in and secure.
Make sure the video card in in the top Pci express slot in the motherboard. The blue one and not the black one.

Let me see if i can find my microphone

swapped the ram from blue to black, swapped GPU from black to blue, still nothing, GPU fan spins, but nothing, the motherboard green light is on, but still nothing.
