Solved [Help Needed] Custom PC starts then stops immediately after.

[Oyxii]

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!
