I just finished putting my new pc together, but it won't start

Hey Guys!.
I have a asus z170 pro gaming mobo, asus ROG strix gtx1060 6gb, intel i5 6600k, corsair h45, corsair Cx750m bronze and some RAM some friend gave me 2x 8gb.
I am almost 100% sure at everything is in the right place but when i turn it on nothing happens (some light on the motherboard turns on) but nothing else, there is no sounds from it. I have removed the CPU and placed it back and nothing happens, i have the small cabels (PWR SW, PLED +, PLED - and HDD LED) they are in the right spot 100%

What do i do????

Try reseating your RAM in your mobo. The fact that your friend just gave it to you is really fishy, and it could be damaged.

I hope this is stupid question, but better to check...... your friend gave you DDR4, right? Not DDR3? Not too many people will have spare DDR4 laying around...

Um, I don't think that DDR3 fits in a DDR4 slot. If he was given the wrong memory, it wouldn't fit into the slot

Hence the "stupid question" aspect WD........ but people have been known to force things.

It is DDR4 RAM

I just tryed that but it didn't work...

 

[Barty1884]

Phew! If you'd forced DDR3 in there, you would've damaged the slots.

Anyway, try following the suggestions in the post Attacker linked. Usually it's something fairly basic (missing the CPU 8pin connector is extremely common)

It is not plugged in cuz i don't know what cable it is and where i should put it ...... but thanks 😀

Did you open the link posted by Attacker?

Have you connected an 8pin connector (usually 2x4pins from your PSU) to the 8pin port on your motherboard? Top left of the board. to the right of the rear I/O? That's one of the most common oversights....

I have one 6 pin and one 2pin is that fine ???

 

[Barty1884]

No, that;'s a PCIe connector. The one you're looking for will be 4+4pins, and be should be labeled "CPU" (if it's not already installed of course)

Is there any chance the i havent recived them???? cuz i can't find them but i know where to put them now 😀😀😀

 

[Barty1884]

On a CX750M? No. They should be part of the 'hard-wired' bundle, I think. It may look like 8pins total, but they split into 2x4 connectors (you don't need to split them though as your board requires the full 8 pins - some only need 4), just ensure you're using the ones labled "CPU" and not "PCIe" which may also look like 8pins (a PCIe power connector shouldn't fit though, so don't force anything).

I only got 2 "hard wired" 1 for my mobo and 1 for my graphiccard soooo what do i do?

 

[Barty1884]

What are the cables to your GPU say on them? PCIe? Or CPU?

I'd suspect the 24pin ATX and 8pin (2x4) CPU would be the 'hard-wired' cables, not a PCIe for the GPU. Take a second look at that.

I can't find reliable pics of all the cables with a CX750M (is your labeling green or silver on the PSU btw?), if you could post one with all the cables available to you, that would help.

The cable for my GPU says CPU and the the labeling in yellow or green on the box and silver on the PSU, But now what cable do i use for my GPU???

 

[Barty1884]

That's the one that goes to your board!!!

The 6+2pin you mentioned earlier, that's labeled "PCIe" goes to your GPU.

 

[madmatt30]

What Barty says is absolutely right.

The hardwired cables are for your board.
The 24 pin main atx & the 4+4 pin atx 12v.

The pci express cables which contain a double 6+2 connector are modular cables for the GPU.

THANKS ALOT <3
I realy like that you took your time to help me 😀

You're welcome. Can you confirm that it does indeed boot now?
