Hi guys.
So I recently built my own system, and on a test boot the PSU fan starts for a second, then stops. The mobo lights are on, the 'Kuhler h20' symbol on the CPU fan is also on. However the CPu fan doesnt start and... well nothing starts. WHat is the problem exactly?

Agree with hefox.

Breadboard your m/b on the top of the m/b box. Run only the bare minimum - cpu and fan, ram, hdd. If that boots, add gpu. If that boots, reinstall in case and move on.

Be sure you have the 24pin atx and 8pin eatx connectors firmly connected. Also, be sure all standoffs are installed and that none of the "fingers" on the i/o shield are misaligned.

I'm not sure about the piezo speaker

Thanks again

It might be a short. I suggest to take out the motherboard and boot the system outside the case. But before that make sure your cpu cooler is sitting properly and all the cables are connected.
