Hey guys! I'm asking for a friend in need. He has a new build ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2fW4w )
Bad luck for him though as it won't run.
Here is what happens:
My friend turns on the psu but not one fan spins on the build. The green light on the 660 turns green but that's about it (he tells me the gfx card and the psu beep, but I need to go hear it myself later this week to confirm). At first I thought the psu was the main culprit, possibly dead, but I made him try the paperclip black to green wire trick to see if can at least run, and it does, so I don't believe that is the issue here. However, when the psu is plugged into the mobo it won't spin its fan.
Is it possible the motherboard is the issue here? I told him to try it without the gfx card in but it still wouldn't turn the fans on, not even for a spin. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read my inquiry!
