New build won't turn on.

BeigeSponge · Jul 28, 2015

I have just built my first pc however it won't turn on. There is no response at all from the system.

Can I have your system specs and what case are you using? Is your motherboard touching the case? That happened to me I forgot to put the screws that lift up the motherboard and the electricity would leak out on the case and wouldn't power the motherboard.

You probably screwed up the hardest part, the power pins for the power button. Try re arranging those.

Spent hours trying to do it, I think I've got it right but even when i put the screwdriver across it still doesn't start.

Not sure of the case but:
z97m anniversary as rock
i5-4690k
msi 280x
corsair cs 650

I am missing one stand off although the rest are in so its lifted up off the case

Across the pins for the start button to see if it would start?

Where the heck did you read that? No, absolutely not, look at the diagram and place the pins from the cables in accordingly, that is if you didn't fry the motherboard with that little screw driver trick.

StarChief :

It was advised on this and many other websites. It wouldn't fry the motherboard as all it does is complete the circuit like you would if you pressed the on switch.

If you did that to the right pins it could work, I guess if you did that to the wrong pins nothing would happen. I still wouldn't feel good taking a screwdriver to those things.

back on topic

Does the CPU socket have adequate power? I think it takes 4x2 pins to power it

Run through this.

Don't think the molex was in properly, took the mobo out and put it back in again and it worked!
