Nothing turns on not even the PSU fans after build

[thecrazyboy858]

my specs are
Lenovo Thinkstation S20 71Y8820 Motherboard
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cpu cooler
Intel Xeon X5650
5x4GB of ECC Ram and then a 1x4GB of normal Ram
1 TB beracuda HDD
EVGA 600BQ Semi Modular PSU
Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
3 case fans

i plugged in everything and i turned my PC up and only the power button LED on the case turned on. other then that no fans not even the power supply fans were spinning. i don't have a speaker for the MOBO. Any help would be very helpful.

Start over. Double and triple check EVERY single item covered here, even if you THINK it's ok. Pay specific attention to whether you've connected both the 8 AND 24 pin connectors to the motherboard from the power supply.

Make absolutely sure that you have the memory modules fully seated, the CPU cooler fan plugged in to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard and that all of the connections from the case front panel are correctly plugged in to the motherboard. Easy to get one of those wrong.

i have and did it four times everything is fully plugged in the ram is all in perfectly seated but i don't have an 8 pin i have a 4 pin ATX which has been plugged in and a 10 pin EPS which has been plugged in on the motherboard to a 8 pin that goes the the power supply's VGA port

Something about that statement seems wrong. I'll look into it but I think that is the area where something is off. Mostly there are only 4 and 8 pin EPS connectors and sockets, and NONE of them are supposed to be plugged into a PCIe/VGA power supply port. Pinouts are totally different for the EPS connectors and PCIe graphics card connectors. It's possible if you have one of those plugged in to the wrong place, and it's HIGHLY possible on SOME power supplies to plug in a connector cable to the wrong socket on the PSU, that you might even have shorted something out.

Also, looking at images of that motherboard, I do not see any such thing. There is only a four pin EPS socket for supplemental CPU power and the standard 24 pin ATX connector. You should only have the 24pin and either a 4 pin EPS power cable or half of an 8 pin EPS power cable plugged in to the socket on the motherboard.

Disconnect your cable from whichever of the sockets marked VGA that you have that cable connected to and plug it in to the one that says CPU2.

there is no CPU2 on either the mobo or PSU

the other two cables are a 4x2 ATX cable and a 24 Pin cable

here's one of the 4x2 ATX cables on there

here the 10 pin connecter right by the orange screw hole

is there any way to check if the PSU is alive or not? to make sure i didn't kill it

There IS, on the power supply, if you have the unit you say you have. It is not however one of the modular connectors (Was looking at the wrong model earlier), so you should NOT be using one of the modular cables to connect to the white four pin EPS socket on the motherboard.

The non-modular PSU cabling has a 4+4 pin EPS power cable. Use half of that connector to plug into the motherboard EPS socket.

Also, I can't find any good information, that's definitive, on that 10 pin connector, but this thread might get you going in the direction you need to be going in. If not, I'll look into it some more after while.

Are you talking about the plugging half of it to the white 4 pin? i already did that but i'm more concerned about that white 10 pin EPS connecter becuase i don't have anything that's a 10 pin except my adapter which is a 10 pin male to 8 pin male which you told me not to plug into the VGA Port

the forum has problems with just the 10 pin, do you think i could switch out the motherboard completely with something that doesn't have the 10 pin?

Yes, that is a proprietary connector. You will not find it on practically ANY aftermarket power supplies. You MIGHT find an adapter though that can be used. Since you have that already, I suppose you're halfway there but the link I posted might give you some insights as to WHAT that actually ought to be connected to. 99% of motherboards do not have that connector, and I am unfamiliar with it myself, but I will look further into it as I THINK this is likely part of your problem.

Might not be a bad idea.

the 10pin has been where i've been coming to difficulty for this build, i've has to buy a 4 pin female to a 8 pin male so i could've connected the 8 pin to the 10 pin but found no luck since both the 8 pins were males.

Man, I think I'd just look at getting a different board that doesn't have that proprietary connector but is compatible with your CPU and memory.
