Hi,
So today was my first time in "building" PC..And so bad that was a fail ;(
I have bought the following things :
The Tower PC is Antec GX500,PSU Antec TP-550C,Motherboard GigaByte B75M-D2V,CPU I7-3770S with Arctic Alpine 11 Rev.2 Cooling,RAM Crucial Venegance 4GB 1600MHZ,SSD Crucial M500 120GB.
Okay so what I did is the following :
Connected the CPU to the Motherboard and then putting the cooling but because I thought I need to apply the thermal compound I removed the cooling but then I saw the cooling already came with it and it got into the CPU but anyways I removed it with Alchoal that the CPU box provided me and applied new thermal compound to the center of the CPU then closed the cooling,
Next I put the RAM ,After that I connected the PSU to the Case,
after it I started to connect the computer case cables which was the audio connection,USB 3 connection and the power/reset/led,This case also came with all the fans connected to one Mole connector but I didnt see any cable from the PSU that can get connected to that Mole but thats just the fans so I will break my head to fix it later..
Anyways I connected the PSU 24PIN cable to the motherboard,Then the 4PIN CPU cable and after that I connected the SSD power and then SATA6 Cable from the SSD to motherboard,So now everything as it should be so I connected the power..clicked the power button and...Nothing! CPU fan not moving,The powersupply not moving so I pulled the power cable,Waited 1 mintue and then connected again and clicked the power button then I tried to see if I can see anything and..I did!
When I clicked the power button I could see a little little movment from the PSU fan so its seems its not a power problem then I wanted to make sure thats really it so I pulled off the power cable waited minute and connected again and then again when I clicked the power button I could see the fan of the PSU moving for less then a sec (I cant even call it a movment,Just a little sign of trying to move and thats it) When I getting closer to the PSU after I clicked the power button I could hear about each 3 sec like electricity little beep so seems the power is really moving there but why nothing working?
Any suggests please? ;( Sorry for making it so long as I tried to give any information I could and every step I did so maybe you can track my problem.

Use your motherboard manual to make sure that you connected everything correctly.
Also, check on youtube for the Paperclip PSU test, in order to check if your PSU is working properly.

Report back after you did this.

About the motherboard manual I cant see anything I didnt did right..
CPU 4pin is connected,Motherboard 24pin connected and SATA6..LED/POWER/RESET/AUDIO/USB3 case connected,CPU Fan.
The only thing I didnt connect that you can see in the motherboard is the Sys_Fan but I dont have to because in this case all the fans are connected into mole connector which should connect directly to the powersupply and you have switches for the speed of the fans in the case (BIOS not controlling it so no need to connect it)

About the clip test I will try it but I'm sure its not the PSU problem because its really came new in the box so.. ;<|

What I think is that maybe I didnt connect the CPU good or the CPU cooler but if I will now get it removed the thermal will tearoff is it right? Even that I'm sure I connected the CPU as it should be with the arrow mark and it even fitted good but when things not working you start to think that everything you do is fail.. ;<

I just tried the clip test and the fan is moving..
Which means PSU is fine,Then what is wrong!

I have no idea how but all fans now working ;O PC is booting I guess (There the led that show its work I didnt connect it yet to a screen to see what is going on) I have no idea what I did that fixed it..
All I did was the clip test and then I disconnected all the motherboard cables and connected one by one and somehow it worked..
Well thats so weird.
