PC won't boot

[William_188]

Hello! I'm new to these forums and the custom PC community as a whole. So as of today I assembled my custom gaming PC and it was smooth sailing except the PC will not turn on. It won't turn on at all, when the power switch on the case is clicked nothing happens. The led on the case is on and the gpu has the lights on aswell. I'm not sure what the issue could be. I've checked standoffs, CPU power and atx power cables. Everything seems to be alright but the PC refuses to power on. Thanks for any help in advance! Here's the part list if it'll help: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PDhFCy

If your GPU comes on, your system has too. Is the cooler fan spinning? Does it reset over and over? Have you plugged your monitor into the GPU, not motherboard video outputs?

Did you connect power to the videocard you installed if it needs power?

There's a little led on the gpu which lights up when the switch for the psu is flicked up. I get no image from gpu on my monitor though. No case fans spin either.

Did you connect fans to the motherboard headers? And cpu cooler to the cpu_fan header?

The cpu_fan 1 slot is being used by the aftermarket h60. I tried unplugging the h60 and plugging in the stock case fan and still no good

No, not a good idea. You need your CPU cooler in the cpu_fan header so it can respond to the temp of the chip and keep it cool. Case fans have v little immediate impact on CPU temps.

Have you connected the SATA power to the h60? Do the fans on the radiator spin when you power on? Because like I said, if your GPU has power then your board does too.

Doesn't the h60 get power from the cpu_fan? Maybe this has been my problem? Nothing happens when I click the power button and I have the h60 plugged into the fan headers on the board

Not sure. I have a dual Corsair AIO and it needs SATA power. Am not sure about a single fan version, and I cant see a manual on the product page anywhere.

EDIT - No, it looks like it doesnt have a separate SATA power connector actually

Do you definitely have both 4/8 pin and 24 pin power cables attached to board and the 8 pin power cable attached to GPU?

What slots do you have the RAM in?
