(It's not my PC, btw)
I'm helping a friend, via discord to build his first PC. We basically live in the 3rd world so its a modest build, really basic. Athlon 3000g +Asus B450 motheroard + 2x4gb ram ddr4 2666+ 480gb ssd. All this is powered with a Gigabyte 450watt 80+ bronze PSU and mounted on a generic case. I checked that the motherboard supports that processor, so I don't think that's the issue in this case.
I told him where and how to put everything, this cable goes here this way, that goes there and so on.
When I tell him to turn it on, the motherboard's lights turn on, but the CPU fan doesn't. The monitor has no signal (apparently), he's no tech guru so I think the last part may be his fault, but I'm not there with him to give a diagnosis myself.
I told him multiple times to check that the CPU fan is indeed plugged into the CPU fan header, and it is there, but it doesn't turn on.
I already ran out of ideas here, I'd told him to reset BIOS but his monitor has no signal, so idk what to do.
Next stop would be a technician, I guess, but I dont think he has the money to afford it... Any ideas for a -possible- solution?
Sorry for any gramatical mistakes, and thanks for any reply.
