Hi
I am have difficulties powering up my new computer and I have no idea what the problem could be. This is my first time building a custom made computer.
My friend assembled the computer (he's built several before), but there was no power supply.
I.e The psu fans didn't spin, the lights didn't turn on and all other parts of the computer obviously didn't start working.
I checked the Cable's fuse and plugged in the cable with another electrical device but the cable still supplied power to the electrical device, therefore I concluded it was fault Power supply unit. I sent the PSU back to Overclockers and they provided me with a new Power supply unit.
My friend plugged in all the pins to componenets et cetera. And then when the power supply unit was plugged in the socket there was still no power.
My friend suggested the problem is the build up of static in the computer and recommended I should take it to PC World to check what the problem could be.
I want to minimize costs as much as possible considering I am student
Any Suggestions?
These are my components:
Case
Xigmatek Alfar Midi Tower Case - Black/White
Memory
Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5 inch SATA Solid State Drive
CD-Rom Drive
LG GH24NS90.AUAA50B 24x SATA Bare Internal DVD Rewriter - Black
Motherboard
MSI B85-G43 Intel B85 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
PSU
XFX Pro 650W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
Ram
Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-14900C9 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX18C9T3K2/8X)
Processor
Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor
