I'm new to PC building. I was trying to throw something together that can play games.
- i5
- msi z97 pc mate
- 2x4gb kingston hyper fury x
- xfx dd r9 290
- seasonic 620w m12ii
- 1 tb western digital blue
- sentey gs 6000 case
After checking that list, I noticed that I did not have the psu plugged into the cpu. This changed the "lightening strike" led flash that I had before to a 1 second light up. The case fans, cpu fans, and gpu fans actually start up this time. But, they stop as soon as they start.
I was hoping it was just a dumb mistake like plugging in the power, reset, etc into the wrong pins. But, I watched an MSI video of it, AND I confirmed the positions with my motherboard manual.
The standoff pins are in the correct position. I confirmed that with the manual.
I pushed the cpu fan all the way into the board (I heard/felt the pins click in).
I tried booting by unplugging the hard drive from the psu, unplugging the gpu (but leaving it connected to the mobo) from the psu, and powering without the ram plugged in.
At this point, the only thing I can think of is to take all of the parts out (uuughhhhh) and put the system together on the wooden table.
I was hoping someone could save me. I haven't messed with anything today, b/c I was in school all day, then I spent the last two hours doing homework.
I'm pretty scared that the mobo is broken.
