Hello, I'm working on my first build and have a bit of a problem. First, my pc will power usb devices, but the fans won't spin and no display or boot at all. I have a gigabyte ga-f2a58 m-ds2 motherboard. Thank you.

Sounds like you might have connected some of your headers incorrectly. It can be very tricky because most motherboards are different, and there are a lot of wee two-pin connectors that could go in multiple places.

I would recommend using the manuals for your motherboard and your case to double check that everything is plugged in correctly. You also might want to look at a tutorial video on youtube to help point you in the right direction.

I'm sure there are plenty of other good ones though.

Omg, I want to hug you right now! I unplugged them all and plugged them in based off the manual and it started. Thanks so much! 😀
