Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H61M-S1 LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX
PSU: Rosewill DR-8500BTX 500W
GPU: MSI N650-MD1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16
CPU: Intel Core i3-3240 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz LGA 1155 55W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500 BX80637i33240
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 (8GB total)
Case: Rosewill R536-BK Black Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
So, I've built a PC for my girlfriend with above components, set the PSU to 115 (as I'm in the US), attached the power and vga cables, and attempted to boot it up for the first time... The last of which, the computer refused to do. I'm rather stuck, I've checked and re-checked my connections to no avail. I have a sneaking suspicion that I might have received a faulty PSU, though I can't be certain. I look forward to any and all help with a solution to my problem: What could be causing this initial boot failure
