My new custom built PC doesn't turn on

[NinjoMCS]

My PC won't turn on... Tried everything...
Specs:

Core i5 6500
Msi gtx 1050 ti
Corsair vengeance 8gb
Corsair VS550 Psu

Tried reconnecting everything. I am so nervous this was literally all my money.

What motherboard and what happens when starting the board?

 

[NinjoMCS]

Gigabyte Ga-h110m-ds2 (similar to h110m-a) and when I start it up nothing happens. Literally no leds, no fans spinning, no sounds, no sign of life 🙁

Did you attach case buttons to the mobo front panel headers?

Great checklist here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems

 

[alexoiu]

Try testing the power supply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FWXgQSokF4
See if a fan connected to it does spin.

 

[NinjoMCS]

Multipack, I tried that already.
alexoiu, I am going to try that, will post an update

Btw thanks for trying to help me out! First time building a pc haha

Try the CMOS battery. Unplug the power, take out the battery. Then press the power button a few times, this will drain any stored or static electricity in the components, then place the battery back in along with the power cable and it should work.

CropEditPaste, I'm gonna try that if my PSU isn't fried...

Alexoiu, I did that paper clip thing, and nothing happened. Is my PSU fried?

 

[alexoiu]

It seems so. Try testing different one, or RMA-ing yours.

 

[Multipack]

If paperclip test was done correctly and you saw no sign of life then you have a dead PSU I would guess.

 

[NinjoMCS]

Never mind, I didn't do it correctly. PSU works fine. So must be something not plugged in correctly or motherboard fried right? 🙁

 

[alexoiu]

Now try leaving only CPU and CPU fan installed, both 24 and 8 pin power cables connected. No other wires/components.
Start the board by shortly touching with a screwdriver the 2 pins on the board corresponding to the case power button (check the board's manual for their correct location). See if the CPU fan does spin.

 

[NinjoMCS]

Does not spin. My mobo is probably dead.

 

[Paul NZ]

Put the ram in too. Then try it

 

[alexoiu]

Does not spin. My mobo is probably dead.

It could be. If removing the 8 pin power cable, connecting a case fan to the board and starting it, does the case fan spin?
If not, I suggest RMA-ing the board.

 

[NinjoMCS]

I'm gonna try that tomorrow, it's getting really late for me now. Thanks for the help though! I really appreciate it . I will post an update when I try that.

 

[alexoiu]

No problem.

 

[NinjoMCS]

Ya, fan doesn't spin. Gonna return it.
