Hi, I was helping my little brother build his new Pc. I bought the cpu and motherboard put together and am fairly certain they both work well.
They're both in great condition. No bent pins or anything like that.
We hooked everything up and only the motherboard lit up (rainbow leds which i guess it has on its own) and a small orange light.
No fan spun, nothing else made noise or would turn on.
I did the paperclip test on the PSU and it turned on fine.
I checked the cables that I did connect and made sure they were all in fine and in proper places.
I plugged and unplugged the tiny cables labeled HDD led, RESET SW and im fairly certain theyre in the right spot now.
I've changed the stick of ram to either slot, tested with and without the gpu installed.
The lights I mentioned before only turn on when I switch on the PSU, pressing the on button on the case does nothing. But connecting a keyboard to the case
makes the keyboard glow on as if the usb connection does in fact work on the case. So maybe the case does work?
It's been a couple days now and we're both frustrated and don't know what else to do.
Please any help will be appreciated.
Asus Z270i (micro atx)
i5 7600k
16gb (1 stick)
GTX 970
500w EVGA
and 2hhds and 2ssds
the case is Q300L Cooler Master
(behind the hdd led are the two pwr led + and -
behind reset sw is power sw)
(there is a cable disconnected on top of the empty ram slot, i removed it for a bit better visibility)
