Hi guys; Have started building a new computer. I am having problems getting it to boot up at all, and the evidence would suggest that this is either a PSU or MOBO issue. The PSU provides more than enough Volts for the MOBO; so there is no issue of underpowering here. I have used the paper clip test for the PSU; and I was able to get the fan to turn doing so. The processor is inside the MOBO, along with the heatsink and the CPU FAN cable which has been connected to the CPU FAN male connector. I have verified that the PSU is connnected; that the mains power supply is ok (checked it with a lamp, working fine) and also that all the various connectors, such as the ATX 4 headed cable is inserted properly, as is the 24 cable. I have visually and manually verified that they are all inserted fully and without any gap. This is now the second motherboard I have used; I purchased the mobo online from a reputable seller who tested the old one and then sent me a replacement. It is also worth noting that I have assembled the computer in a house where there was no carpets or rugs. There is wooden flooring and ceramic tiles everywhere. I have touched the components only after grounding myself. I am at a loss here guys; is it the MOBO or the PSU? 20 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details Do I need to insert speakers for the beeps? Don't have any; I use headphones. Would that work? 5 minutes ago I do not have the video card; hard drives or ram inserted or a monitor.
Then how do think it is going to anything, without the rest of these parts ??? First of all, Are all of these New Parts ?? Do you have the Front Panel wiring hooked up right ? Is your hard drive and ram connected ?
Your computer won't boot if you won't insert any RAM, won't display anything if you won't plug in the monitor to on-board VGA port (if it has any).Lol.
