Hi everyone,
I have not build a computer for a few years but I decided to build one for the living room.
To give you a few idea of my skills : I have a degree in computer science (coding) and a bachelor in engineering and I work as a maintenance manager.
Here is the list of parts :
Case: Thermaltake Core V1 Mini ITX Tower Case
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: EVGA Stinger WiFi Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
Case: Thermaltake Core V1 Mini ITX Tower CaseMemory: G.Skill 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1333 Memory (Recycled from unused computer)
Storage: Mushkin ECO2 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (not received so using an old 200gb sata matrox from unused parts)
Power Supply: OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W ATX12V (Recycled from unused computer)
I connected everything and nothing is working. Only the power led with light up on the motherboard. Nothing on the temperature/error code display.
I also connected a fan to a molex connecter and it's not turning.
Before building this PC, I tested the PSU on the old computer and the fans were spinning, so at that point it was working.
I also inverted the ram and tested both in single slot mode.
I disconnected the old hard drive and nothing.
I plan on removing all the parts and testing the power supply only with a molex fan (I think I need to short-cut the motherboard connector).
And everything back from the CPU and up.
But if anyone have any idea or tips on something I could test easily first, I am open to any help !
