I just built (well tried) building my first PC. After plugging everything in and making sure all was right, I went to turn it on aaaannnndd... the RGB lights came on my MOBO and when I hit the power button on my case, nothing.
I have tried troubleshooting a few things but am at a loss.
I made sure the front panel pins were connected properly.
I re-seated my CPU.
I did the paper-clip method of testing my PSU and this is the one that ended up being kind of weird. I hooked up the PSU to my HDD (I have no fans other than chassis and CPU) and when I did the paper clip test my HDD booted up and was operating. It does NOT operate when everything else is hooked up. Could the problem still lie with my PSU?
I have also slotted my RAM into all the slots with just one, and still nothing. I have not tried using different RAM as I do not have any other sticks.
I have also double, triple, and quadruple checked all the connectors were connected properly
My build is
MOBO - ASRock B450M Steel Legend
CPU - Ryzen 5 3600 AM4
GPU - MSI GEFORCE GTX 1660 super
PSU - Corsair 550w bronze+
Memory - Samsung 860 EVO 250g sata m.2
A 1TB HDD
RAM - G.SKill Ripjaws 2x8gb
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
