[SOLVED] First Time PC Builder - Lots of Lights, No Booting

[arcannnn]

Hey all,

First time builder here. I'm doing a partial external boot before packing everything and can't get anything on screen. I have lights coming on and fans spinning (see attached pictures) but that's it.

  As mentioned, there are lights on and fans spinning depending on what it is. All advice is appreciated. Thanks for reading.

1 x 24-pin ATX main power connector
1 x 8-pin ATX 12V power connector
1 x 4-pin ATX 12V power connector

All three need to be connected. You don't have the 4-pin ATX 12V power connector connected.

It is possible to use a 4-pin P4 cable in the 8-pin ATX connector using pins 1,2,5,6.

Hi Calvin,

I did what you said and put a 4 pin into the open slot on the CPU but the screen's still dark, so there's still something else as well. Thank you for the CPU advice.

do you have your monitor plugged into the GPU when trying to boot? also if that doesn't work try pulling the GPU and plugging the monitor into the back of the MB just to get a display, trying to isolate if there is a problem. also I'd advise you to read the MB owners manual when you can, good info in there. anyhow report back

Hi Norcalsc,

I should've mentioned this in the post - I removed the GPU last night and tried with just the MB. Same result. At this point I'm thinking it's a hardware issue based on what I've read. Not sure on most efficient method to approach now.

Long shot, but have you got a warning about motherboard needing an update? Did you check the compatibility list? Motherboards tends to not start up with incompatible CPU's. Also, if you can find a speaker/or have one tell us if it beeps, and what does it beep up. A single beep means it's OK on the startup.
