new built won't start up

[buckeye286]

Hello guys, I am building my first gaming computer so I apologize in advance if Im a noob. But I got done building my computer and I think I wired everything correctly. But when I connected everything to power there was a red light on my motherboard and then I tried to turn on my new built computer, my apartment breaker tripped. So I went and fixed the breaker and now when I plug in my new built there is no light or anything and It won't start up or do anything. Please guys help me out I would really appreciate it. Thanks alot in advance to anyone who responds to this.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds like you fried your computer.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic about it.

If you have somehow managed to plug the wrong cable into the wrong socket/plug when you've been building your PC (I don't even know how could this happen) and now you get no power at all in the PC then most probably the PSU fuse has blown up to prevent further damage. The other reason for this to happen is if your PSU wasn't powerful enough to give enough juice to your system. Maybe you could tell us what are your system specs including the PSU.

Also (not sure how it is in other countries) but if you are in the UK most (if not all) power cables come with a fuse too so this is another thing to check.

If your PSU is powerful enough to power up your PC then try changing the fuses I told you about (either in power cable or PSU); but before changing the fuses go through your MotherBoard user manual and double check you have plugged everything where it should be plugged to avoid future mishaps.

what are your specs? Maybe your PSU was not able to sufficiently power your system. Also, make sure that the switch on the back of your PSU (if any) is switched to the correct input voltage.

Hm... now that you mentioned your CPU cooler - why did you go for a water cooler for your first build?

There are chances you got a leak from it and this could really messed things up. At this point I could only suggest you take your PC apart starting with removing the cooler and checking for leaks. Then test all parts 1 by 1 in another PC if you can.

Well I have been thinking abt gaming on PC for a while and I was thinking abt experimenting with over clocking and thats why I chose Corsair H100i and I have checked and I don't notice any leaks or anything. btw do you think it would have fried all my components? I went and exchanged my motherboard but still no lights or anything and still doesn't start up.

you prolly missed a wire or forgot to plug something in

 

[Mouldread]

It might sound silly but have you tried plugging in your PC into a different wall socket? Or at least make sure the one you are using does have power by plugging something else in it.

 

[vijenderrinku]

what sys. config

 

[vijenderrinku]

first of all, unplug the all connection form motherboard and other parts
After give Supply to PSU, and then take ATX connector, their is Green wire, and Black wire after identification, short it (means take wire and connect both wire with the help of other wire) if the PSU fan rotating i.e. PSU is OK.
If not working, change the Power Cable. and again check.

after check told, what is status

After my breaker tripped I took the whole system to another room and there was no light or any response from it but I just don't understand why did the breaker trip?

I have the corsair RM750 and all the cables are black plus I ordered a replacement for PSU from amazon and it should be here friday? do you think the breaker tripping could have fried all my computer parts? thanks for your help.

 

[vijenderrinku]

no brother, all cables are not black, somewhere you find the green cables

 

[vijenderrinku]

dont worry, i check it site give u solution

 

[i7Baby]

It sounds like your power supply cable was earthing out on something. If it was the input side, then your components should be OK. Or maybe you had a power supply with a short in it. If it was me, I'd unplug the pc and inspect it - especially around the power supply. Use you nose to smell out anything burnt. Tell us if you find anything.
