    PC not booting up

    So i've given up. Thanks for the help but sorry for wasting you time. I've built 2 pc's in the past and have had no issues, but for whatever reason this won't even turn on now. Not even attempting to start up like the infinite loop i had before, it just simply does nothing when i press the...

    PC not booting up

    Yeah, i'm thinking that was the problem. I probably have the bag of those riser in a box that i just must have missed. I'll find them and get the components installed again inside the case tonight and let you know how it goes. Thanks so much btw for all the quick help!

    PC not booting up

    Yes, so that rod lines up with the center hole of my mb (there are 9 holes total) it has a short ribbet that the mb hole fits over top of. However the provided screws are not nearly long enough to reach to other 8 holes so there was possibly some hard pressure applied when i screwed the mb into...

    PC not booting up

    I'm a bit unsure what the main issue was with booting up. I think it may have been the motherboard shorting out against the computer case. There is a small rod the extends from the middle of the case thru the center hole of the mb...Do you think that is something that should be removed before...

    PC not booting up

    Update: So I was able to get the computer to boot up and stay on and I was able to get into BIOS utility screen. I ended up pulling the components out of the case and connected everything with the exception of the HDD and optical drive. The pc booted up and after a reset and plugging optical...

    PC not booting up

    I have a new PSU coming in the mail tomorrow that i can try to see if that is the cause of the pc not booting up. Corsair RMx Series, RM850x, 850W, Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold Certified I'm not sure on the motherboard...i'm pretty sure none of the pins are bent. As far as it shorting...

    PC not booting up

    Alright, so just now I went home and took out the cpu cooler and the cpu. I made sure the cpu was positioned correctly and secured and then i applied the paste before attaching the cpu cooler again. I plugged the power supply in and let it sit open before trying to turn power on to the pc. When...

    PC not booting up

    I believe I've installed the cpu correctly. This is the 3rd pc i've built (Each with there own set of problems) But I don't think its a heat issue, however i did not apply any of the heat sink paste that came with the cpu cooler. From what I looked up I did not see it as required...I could be...

    PC not booting up

    So I recently bought parts for a new build but having some problems with the boot up/setup. I got all components installed in the case and the initial start up displayed onto the monitor but would not go into the BIOS update process and other first boot up procedures. I turned off the pc and...
