IDK why but some stuff has been cropped such as the gpu spinning, but basically, I turn on the machine, led light works, cpu spins. Psu spins for 2 seconds then stops. Then after a while it does a restart of the process. Same thing repeat to eternity tilll i turn the power off in the psu button, is this a faulty psu? (I did get it off eBay...)
Or maybe it’s a faulty mobo? But if the mobo was faulty the cpu fan wouldn’t spin right? And neither the gpu?
Also idk why but my case fans aren’t spinning(I heard they’re connected to some special thing for this case, phantom NZXT 410)
P.S. my psu doesn’t have molex cable but my case did come with something that is supposed to connect to one.
Also excuse my cable management, but the cables on this psu weren’t flexible at all, so I had to settle to do it this way.

My specs are:
Asrock am4 ab350 (ebay purchase )
Ripjaws ddr4 2400 16 gb (2x8) silver from Newegg
Gtx 1050
Corsair hx 650 (ebay purchase )
NZXT phantom 410 case

If the psu is faulty I just want a psu that will have everything I need with goddam flexible cables so I can do cable management .
Please let me know, this is my 2nd ever build and my heart wants to explode, I really hope I can solve this.
Thanks, dan
 
Solution
Not working your PC?
No problem.
We got the solution.
Buy a new one!
There was no need to buy a new PSU.
Fans were spinning for 2 seconds that means PSU was alive and kicking.
Sure the PSU may not supply the "right" voltage and that's why your PC wouldn't POST but i'd say that chance is less than 1%.
Also new MBs have a Led display giving you a code of what's wrong.
If they don't have then it should definitely beep. If you connect a beeper.
In any case no need to get a new MB also AMD can lend you a CPU for free to upgrade BIOS and you get to keep the heat sink for free .

I agree with you with the 1clip lameness on DRAM slots.
I had...
Update : So I installed the new psu but the bootloop is still happening, the good news is that the case fans are now spinning thanks to the molex connector and that there's a cool white light inside the case that wasn't there before!
excited to replace the motherboard tomorrow!

I had to put all my weight on my DRAM modules to get in.
MB was making some weird cracking sounds.
All good in the end.
 
Solution
Is the first sentence sarcastic? Lol

I appreciate your information regarding amd lending boot kits, but I rather just get a different motherboard because I rather not deal with the process of bios updating, it would probably take them a couple of days to respond to my ticket, and then couple of days to ship it, I don’t have time for that.

And yes my motherboard made weird cracking sounds as well when installing the ram, 1 clip was a bad idea imo, why fix something that wasn’t broken?

I might send the mobo back or might keep it for whenever I want to build a different build for a relative or some thing.
Same thing with the previous PSU
 
So I got the new motherboard, installed it today and it's working fine thankfully.
RGB lights on it are cool, case fans are spinning, my one problem is that out of the 4 rams it says N/A for the first slot in the bios (I guess DOA, I reseated it couple of times)

I can't install windows... WTF
Windows 7 none of my keyboard or mouse work but other usb devices work (external sound card thingy, usb ports thingy, usb flash drive)

and in Windows 10 it says 'No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok'. I have no idea what to do.
 
Tried to boot with only the ssd/hdd that you will install your os on? Happened to me before with 4 ssd and hdd connected same time, but after unpluging all but the one to instal os on all went fine.
