PC Tower refuses to turn on, seems to problem in PSU

Creeoer · Jun 3, 2014

I am very new to pc buildling, and this is the first one I made. Bascially, after I have assembled everything I hooked up the PSU and the fans won't spin on the case, but I'm sure all of the wires are in the correct spots after double checking. All that happens is that the PSU makes a very faint buzzing noise everytime I turn it on.
Parts list:
AMD Athlon X4 760K CPU: http://bit.ly/19Baf3P

check the switch on the psu if it is set to the voltage you use where you live ,also see if the led on the board is on before you try to switch system on .

My region is in the Eastern United Statesm and I am using a Corsair CX 430 as my PSU, and I dont see any LED on my board?

psu is set to witch voltage on the back and since the board does not lit recheck your 24 pins atx and the 4 or 8 pins also on the board give all system parts name and model .

Please list your parts. I don't want to sit through a 12 minute video.
The CorsairCX430 auto detects the voltage; there is no switch to select voltage. Yes, the power switch must be turned to I from O.

Double check that the front panel pwr switch is plugged into the proper place on the front panel connector block. It is sometimes confusing.

It is possible that you have a short with the motherboard and the case. You did use the motherboard riser screws??
Take the motherboard out of the case and see if it works then.
If your motherboard does not have a power switch, you can start by touching both PWR pins with a screwdriver momentarily.

Unplug every cable in your system. Plug in 24 pin ATX power connector on your mobo. 4/8 pin EPS connector. Try to boot your system with CPU, one module of RAM and GPU only. See if it works. Also make sure that your Case button connectors are connected properly on the mobo and at right place.

The CX 430 are known to have problems....What you do to actually test it is to jump start it.... jumper Power/green wire to black/ground on the 20/24 ATX connector....then test some of you're voltages, 12v,5v, 3.3v etc...

OP can also check the PC with other available PSU to check if the fault is with PSU
