Question Upgrading my pc.. i tried but.. help?

[Anzy]

Hey everyone. I truly need help. I wanted to upgrade my pc and well I know some about pcs but not when it comes to connecting everything.

I wanted to upgrade my pc, to make it more powerful for video editing and gaming.

The parts I chose, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MYhWxG

I had someone come over who said they knew what they were doing. WRONG.

It powered on, but no display would come up and it kept resetting I could tell by the noise.

Help please.

Do you have a graphics card in the system?

If not then that's why you have no display as the CPU doesn't have integrated graphics.

If you do have a graphics card in the system then make sure it's connected to the monitor. If it is then go through this checklist.

In all honesty I have no clue what the psu is in this thing. Its bolted in.

But this is the same model and type that I bought like 2 years ago

An old prebuilt power supply with an rx 480. Not a good idea.

Can you see the psu sticker on the side and take a picture.

I will when I get home! Sorry at work! I'm thinking it's the psu, it might not be powerful enough.

Could be.

I would do this in this order.

1. ensuer all connectiors are inserted fully.
2. See if any debyg leds come on the motherboard.
3. resear ram and cpu

This may sound dumb, but have you put in the display cable into the GPU or into the motherboard? I did this when I had no experience in building PCs.

Go thoroughly through the list I posted above, don't skip steps.

Also take a pic of the PSU label.
