Newly built pc not booting

GordoRoboto · May 9, 2013

Hey, i just built a pc as follows:
i7-3770k
Corsair h100 high performance
Asus p8z77-v lk
Corsair hx850
GTX 670
vengeance 2x4g ddr3

Now I'm trying to boot my pc but all i see is a green onboard LED lit and the cpu fan starts turning for a second only. Then....nothing.....

Anybody can help?

I already tested my psu with a paperclip and changed video card.
Is there any way to test cpu and motheboard?

See if the red cpu led is on or the fault led for the video card. Look at the mb ser number. The end of the label has the mb bios rev. Make sure the mb bios is fairly new so it post with your CPU and gpu combo. If it old if your mb has the asus flash back USB port download the newest bios. Rename it and flash the bios. Check also that the pci power plug is connected. It be neer the CPU or on the edge of the mb. It be four or eight pinned.
Check on your power supply if it has the 120-240 red switch that the switch is set to your country correct voltage.
Check that you used all the mb brass standoffs to keep the mb from shorting out. Check the mb rear shield,sometimes the metal fingers can short the bottom of the mb or short out in a USB port.

Some power supply's don't auto switch from us 120 voltage to 220v.
On some of them there a little red switch. One side is 120v or move the switch and it 220v.

I have no idea of it. I belong to software field and this is a technical question . I think you have to contact you technician for this help. He will surely helps you.

Figured it out,seem like my case shortcircuited my motherboard.
Simply needed to loosen or remove a few screws and it worked!
