My son and I just finished building up a new gaming system: Intel i9-10900K, ASRock Z490 Extreme4 motherboard (Socket 1200), EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Super graphics card, 2GB SSD, 850W Power Supply.
The big day came, we turned on power. Many LEDs lit up inside. Pressed the power switch on top of the NZXT 510 case, a white ring around that power button lit up for about half a second, then went dark again. The inside LEDs stayed lit up, but it did nothing further. Never any signal to the monitor, or other signs of life, just the internal LEDs staying on.
Checked all cables, found one (6-pin CPU Power cable) from power supply, not connected to the motherboard. The 4-pin CPU cable next to it on the motherboard, was correctly plugged in. Plugged the 6-pin cable in in, powered up again, same behavior: Internal LEDs came on and stayed, and when I pressed the power switch on the case, white ring lit up for maybe 1/2 second and went out again. Pressed the power button on the case again, nothing, this time the white ring didn't even light up for 1/2 sec.
Only way I can get the ring around the power switch to light up even briefly, is to turn off the main switch on the power supply, turn it back on, and then press the power button on the case again. White circle there lights up briefly and goes out, and won't respond to more button-presses.
Does this ring a bell with any of you experienced system builders? Can anyone say, "Oh, that happened to my system too, here's what turned out to be wrong with mine etc." ?
