Currently trying to build my little brother a gaming PC.
Parts are as follows:
CPU : Intel Core i5 - 3330 3 GHz Quad-Core Processor (remnant from a default manufactured PC. Only old part in the build)
CPU Fan : Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition 57.3 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus B75M-Plus Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
Video Card: MSI Radeon RX 580 8 GB ARMOR OC Video Card
PSU: Corsair CXM (2015) 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
Link to pcpartspicker. Definitely not the best build, but I have to work with it.
Issue:
No response. Fans don't turn on, no POST. The standby green light on the Motherboard is on.
I've tried resetting CMOS, I've taken everything out of the case and connecting only the CPU, PSU, Video card, CPU fan, 1 stick of RAM and a monitor. Touched the 2 pins for the power with a screwdriver, nothing. Everything is new except the HDD and CPU. Can't deny the possibility that I scratched something during installation. The only other thing is I've lost the jumpers for the pins responsible for setting wakeup via keyboard/mouse.
Any help is appreciated. I've been looking around the forums for similar cases, but nothing's worked so far. Thank you!
Update: I performed the Paper Clip test on the PSU. When it wasn't connected to anything, the PSU fan spun for 3 or so seconds before turning off. After connected it to the SSD, the PSU spun for a second before turning off in a jitter.
Update: Swapped the PSU. All fans are now turning on normally. But now running into an issue with the monitor not receiving a signal. Just posted a new thread with that issue as the main focus. Thanks for all the responses!
