Hey guys,

So i recently purchased a Bitfenix Prodigy case and ported over my Alienware x51 specs.
I upgraded the power supply and graphics card also.

But after complete installation, my fans spin for a split second, then turn off.
What did I do wrong?

I tried re-inserting my RAM
i plugged in my 4pin connector and my 20+4 pin
My USB 3.0 pin is messed up, idk if that is important to make it turn on
HDD is installed
The PSU is literally NEW as well as the GPU

Corsair 500W
Intel Core 4th Generation i5-4440 Processor 3.10GHz(6MB Cache, up to 3.30GHz)
MS7796 motherboard
GTX 660
Stock Heat sink
1tb HDD

Did you pull the GPU and connect the monitor to the onboard video to see if it boots up? I had a GTX 660 that would do that occasionally, specifically after I removed it from the case. I'd check the PCIe slot for any dust and the card itself for any possible debris. Also, a lot of people forget the motherboard standoffs which can also be a cause of your symptom. If neither is the issue, you might want to try the other power supply just to make sure you didn't receive a dud.

I have now actually found out that the CPU Connector wasn't in right. Stupid mistake on my part.

But now my next issue is that the Mobo wont display the GPU on the monitor or my TV. I've tried both my onboard and graphic card.

Can you at least see the boot up? If you can't get into the BIOS or see anything at all, it might be another PSU connector problem. Does the motherboard have a speaker on it that beeps or have LED indicators? Check if it is throwing up any error codes.
