Ok guys, I just finished my first build. Or so I thought. I plugged everything in, checked it, re checked it, but nothing's working! Here's how it went down.
1. I finished building, then I plugged in monitor, mouse and keyboard.
2. I plugged in the PSU and flipped the switch. Nothing.
3. I unplug everything, and just check one fan to make sure the PSU is working (Using paper clip on the 24 pin plug)
4. The fan works! Awesome. The PSU is not dead.
5. I re plug everything (PCI-E slot, Optical Drive, HDD, the 4 pin slot next to my processor that I don't know what it does, fan)
6. I flip the switch again. This time, I noticed a green light next to the 24 pin mobo connector light up. Nothing else goes. Not the GPU fan, not the heat sink, nothing.
7. I come to tomshardware on my laptop in search of answers. What is the problem?
