Hello forums,

I recently put together this custom PC and when I attempt to start the computer, the fans run and then stop immediate after. I’ve checked the RAM and I also have taken out the battery and waited, then put it back to its place, nothing seems to be working unfortunately. I would really love some help so I can get this guy on the road!

Hello

It may be shorting out somewhere on the mobo,(standoffs,mobo touching the case..etc. You could do a cardboard test,this would mean you would have to take the parts out and re-assemble them on a piece of cardboard and power the parts up. After that you may be able to tell if it is a short or one of the pieces of hardware is faulty.

I found the problem, my switch on the PSU was set to 115 so I decided I switch the setting to 230 and it turned on smooth!

Thanks for letting us know, so many people just figure out the problem or we help them solve it and they never come back to say anything. :)
