1) I was building my pc (without the case) and was just putting in the cpu, cpu cooler, and ram. i wanted try boot it up so i plugged in the cpu power cable and the motherboard cable. i tryed to turn it on and it didnt. so i decided ill try turn it on after i get the case.1)why?
2)did you try boot it up?
Top left. Not yet. I want it in the case firstwhere did the flash come from? have you tried the mobo since?
I think it’s a light and the power supply cabletop left? are you talking about a light or an electrical flash? and when you say 'I pulled out the power cable (mid pull) i turned it off' do you mean the 24 pin connector on the mobo, the cpu power or the power supply power plug?
as in the lead that plugs in to the power supply, not the one that plugs into the mobo, if that's the case you should be fine (not guaranteed but likely), the light probably only came on because the mobo got power for a bitI think it’s a light and the power supply cable
