new pc not working.

[Anky Phani]

I assembled a pc for my friend.To check whether the new dvd drive and smps are woking,I connected the mobo and just the dvd drive with the wires. I have installed the processor as well.The psu wires with the mobo tool. I turned on the cpu.
But nothing is happening. NOt even the smps fans are running. Just because of hard disk and ram,it cant be happening.
I dont know what I missed. But I am quite sure that I plugged in every wire.
Please give me some solutions.

Without RAM it won't work. Without a cooler it won't work.

by smps you mean psu?

the fan should spin on that--unless its one of the models where the fans dont spin till a certain temperature or load usage

Like he said the computer wont work without the cpu fan. Computers are designed to detect the fan to prevent the cpu from burning up. RAM on the otherhand can prevent a boot, but fans should spin up if no RAM is installed. Also a jumper switch may be missing from the board.

you could just have tested the psu and dvd drive by jumping the psu if you just wanted to know if they worked

sensible thing though is wait till you have all the components then fully assemble before testing

How would I do the jumping thing?

The Processor is also installed.

paper clip or similar in the green wire and the black wire on the 20/24 pin connector of the psu

Is the PSU switch in the "on" position? ........don't laugh, I've seen it happen more than once.

not on every psu--but a lot have a switch at the back with 0 and 1 on them it should be at 1

No,it doesnt have one at its back.

you dont need to pm

please just answer here

paper clip test is only to test if the psu and the dvd drive if you want to is working

lets start again

list exactly what components you do have this will make it easier to help you

Fine
the mobo is connected to the psu. Every necessary wire is plugged in. The cpu wires ie the power,reset wires are plugged too. I have installed the procesor and the dvd drive. Thats all. I have not connected the hd and ram.
So now I plug in the power wire and switch it on.
Nothing happens.

 

[mcnumpty23]

hard drive you dont need connected to test

if you have the ram put it in

you do have the cpu cooler installed dont you?

It would take a couple of days to deliver the ram to my house.
Yeah the cpu cooler is also inserted.

 

[mcnumpty23]

usually with out ram it would power just not display any thing

sorry got to go out now but will check this thread later when i get back to see if any one got you sorted
