Hello! I am building a gaming PC for the first time, but I cannot for the life of me get it to boot, and I’m not sure if the system is making it to POST. I’ve already tried every troubleshooting avenue I’ve found, but nothing seems to resolve my problem.
The issue I’m having is: I press the I/O switch on the PSU, and there is immediately a series of metallic pops. A red LED on the backside of the motherboard flashes in unison with the pops, and the rear case fan occasionally twitches in time with the pops. The LED is not labeled or mentioned in the boards manual, nor is it near any port or component. After the pops and LED finish, the AIO fans will spin up for a second or two before stopping. No other lights come on, and my monitor doesn’t turn on either.
For reference, my part list is:
Intel i9-13900K
RTX 3060 Ti LHR
16 Gb DDR5 RAM (1 stick)
1 Tb M.2 SSD (Sabrent Rocket Q)
ASRock B760 Pro Rs motherboard
AIO CPU Cooler
Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 desktop kit
What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?
