No power at all

[Moxy95]

I recently just put my motherboard in my new case as well as a new GPU and a 600W PSU, now from what I can see it all looks perfectly fine to me but when I turn it on there's no power going to my PC at all, nothing even starts up. No fans, lights, nothing.

Yeah I plugged it in then unplugged then plugged back in. I gave it an extra push to make sure it's in properly. Could it be terms of a faulty power supply?

and there is a another 8 PIN power connector for ur CPU ...this powers ur processor....did u connect tat too?

I just had a look and I can only seem to see a 4 PIN connector next to my CPU, where would the 8 PIN be located?

 

[gokul36]

some board has 4 pin and some has 8 pin....did u connected tat 4pin connector?

Yeah that was already connected. I have a CiT Mars case and now I come to think of it there never was a obvious wire to connect the power button to the Motherboard?

can u give full specs abt ur system? Processor,Motherboard,RAM,PSU,GPU etc

I never changed or moved the processor fan, everything on my motherboard remains the same except my new gpu :/

Without the power button on the case's front panel being connected to the motherboard front panel header the system isn't going to spontaneously turn on.

The power switch on the PSU itself only turns on the AC power to the PSU circuit board.

try to change the PSU .....and then post the results

Thing is I have no idea what that cable is? I have a CiT Mars case if that's beneficial. All the wires just seem to be either fan or LEDs.

If you hook up a different power supply without hooking up the case's power button to the motherboard you're still going to have the same problem.

I don't have the manual for the CiT Mars so I have no idea how the connectors are labeled but one of them has to be for the power switch.

can u upload the pics of front panel connections?

Okay I've found the power button switch and I actually forgot to plug that in aha, but I turn it on and the LED's switch on for about a second then turn off, the fan starts at joly too as if there's power but it just doesn't start up? I have a 600W PSU, that should be enough surely?

Boot looping? Sorry?

 

[gokul36]

continuous restarrt?

Oh, yeah I have to switch the PSU off, unplug the cable then plug it back in then when I turn it off I get the flash and jolt.

its because......your processor fan is not properly placed....

just remove ur Processor fan and apply some thermal paste and place it again.....

i had tis same.....problem ....

But I never even touched the processor fan or even moved it? Why would be cause the problem?

 

[gokul36]

even i didn't touched it.....but i took to my System Tech....and they did the same thing and my system works again

Thank you for your help but I don't have any thermal paste lying around. I'll have to take it to TechBods at the beginning of the week.

Thanks all.
