Yesterday I tried assembling my computer. I am a newbie and have no clue on how to do it, but my friend came over and helped me which he has his own gaming computer that he helped assemble. It took us from 12-6 to get it assembled, even though we had a lot of miscommunication because bad directions from the case and we didn't know where a lot of the stuff was on the motherboard. We finally finished it and then tried to boot it up and it didn't work. We knew it had to do with something with the front panel connectors but we didn't know where to plug them in, and I finally got it. After he left I tried plugging it in and the lights came on and it turned on, but it did something weird and I'm not sure if it's just the case and it's suppose to do that or what? When I pressed the button it turned blue, then went to white again. Then it went to blue again then white. Finally it went back to blue and stayed there. Is it suppose to do that? I just wanna get it fixed before booting up the computer if it's not suppose to do that.
Now the major problems. When I turn on the computer the fans built into the case turn on, but nothing else does. It doesn't connect to the monitor signals and the cpu fans or graphics card fans don't start indicating it doesn't work. Also, i feel like my graphics card isn't going into my motherboard all the way. A tiny bit of the metal is sticking out and the graphics card is a little wobbly. If somebody could help me figure out what is wrong that would be great.
