new build problem.

[jblanda]

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.

Hi, Is the 8 pin power cable connected to the motherboard?

Yes, I'll upload some pictures in a sec.

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 found one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDwGJNJFpeQ
I'm sure there are plenty of other good ones though.

Thanks TheAshigaru, I'll get on that.
Meanwhile, here are the pictures I was talking about: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/53s215zo8hv6qoc/AACoSDPJUNLiBmDF8NS7sAJya?dl=0

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! 😀
