Finished pc build not turning on problem.

[ANativeFox]

So i had just finished building my pc and when i tried to power it it didn't turn on the only thing that did was the led from the power button the the led from the gpu...Here is my pc part list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8zCxbj i had gotten a high end case because it had gotten it for a really good price even though i didn't need it. I think i might of missed something when connecting everything.

If you think so than check manuals. there's rarely anything "extra" that doesn't need to be connected.

Hi ANativeFox. Go through this list first.. www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems

 

[ANativeFox]

I tried things on that page but they didn't work now when i press my power button nothing happens.

 

[ANativeFox]

Maybe its the power button thats not working

 

[Multipack]

If that list can't help you then nobody on here can. You either have a broken PSU or motherboard.

 

[ANativeFox]

Ill work on some of the other ones on that list but is it possible that it is the power button not working?

 

[Multipack]

Yes it is a possibility. Have you connected it correctly to the front panel headers on your motherboard? Check Step 18 in the list posted above.

 

[ANativeFox]

Okay so i got the computer to turn on everything on the mother board turns on but then after a couple of seconds later it turns back off. i have a monitor connected but it just turns back on then off

 

[ANativeFox]

It runs for a couple of seconds then i hear this snap sound and boom goes off again then back on like as if it was retrying

It's called a boot loop, which means the computer is failing the POST (Power On Self Test) so it isn't happy about some hardware attached or the way it is wired up. Have you plugged the cooler fan into the cpu_fan header on your motherboard?

It could be a lot of things, worst of all bent pins in the cpu socket which is near to unfixable, but check you have the cooler attached first, and the RAM and GPU fully clipped in.

 

[ANativeFox]

I'm pretty sure everything is clipped in right and what do you mean by if i have a cooler attached my case does have 3 coolers but the board has only 2 one thing is that the fan plugs have 3 pins while the ones on the board have 4 im still able to plug them in without one and they work during that boot up time.

 

[ANativeFox]

Im pretty sure i dont have any bent cpu pins i carefully placed the cpu in with no problem could it possibly be from the cpu cooler because i did struggle with installing it.

 

[Multipack]

No the cooler needs to be pluuged into the cpu_fan 1 header on the board. The fan over the CPU. Is that fan spinning? Without that the system will fail to boot.

I doubt the cooler wouldve bent pins if the CPU was already installed, but check it isnt screwed on too tightly.

3 pin fans are fine in 4 pin headers for now dont worry about that.

 

[ANativeFox]

The cpu cooler is plugged into the CPU_FAN

 

[ANativeFox]

Should i try putting the ram sticks one over? because the one ram stick is slightly touching the cpu cooler

 

[Multipack]

Yes they probably need to go in the 2nd and 4th slots. Most Skylake boards do. Also try with one RAM chip in each slot one at a time if that doesnt work.

 

[ANativeFox]

Okay i tried putting one ram slot in every slot i only did it with one of the ram sticks but i dont think doing it with the other will do anything, im still having a boot loop

 

[ANativeFox]

didn't you say it could be the way its wired up?

 

[ANativeFox]

I'd be extremely supersized if any pins get bent because i didn't place it in the wrong way or anything

 

[ANativeFox]

I remember when i put on my thermal compound i saw some grease marks from my finger on the top of the cpu could that cause anything?

 

[Multipack]

No but its hard for me to say if you have wired it up correctly, or if there are bent pins. Dont really have any ideas left sorry. Does your board have a debug LED or an internal buzzer?

 

[ANativeFox]

I dont know.

 

[Multipack]

Cant see anything in the manual related to either which is pretty weird as most boards have one or the other. Are there any LED numbers/letters showing on the board? Or did it come with a little speaker? Without that u cant hear/see any error codes.

I know its frustrating, and no fun, and maybe the best thing to do would be to either contact Gigabyte support or take it to a local repair shop and have them wire it up for you. Sorry bud.

 

[ANativeFox]

Alright ill go contact gigabyte and see what they say
