I am building a computer for the first time, so I have very little knowledge of how various computer systems interact with each other.
As of right now, this is what I have installed:
Mobo, CPU(+fan), PSU, HDD+SSD, Optical Drive, Wifi Card, Memory Cards
My Problem:
I have an EVGA Bronze 750 PSU. When I turn it on, I can see that the mobo powers up because of the lighting on it. As far as I can tell, this is the only thing that is receiving power, and all cables are connected properly to everything else. My main concern right now is that I can't even get the case fans, which are directly connected to the PSU, to turn on. The peripheral cable is attached to the PSU, and the 4pin is connected to the fans. On the end of one of my peripheral cables, there is a little female end that I assume connects with the case fan pins on the mobo. I've connected that peripheral cable to the mother board, and it does nothing, but I have also connected the other peripheral cable (the one without the female end) to the fans to test them out with what I thought should be a direct connection. Still no luck. On a side note, I used a volt meter to test the power of the CPU 2x2 power cable, and that is not receiving power either.
Sorry if I just threw random jumbled info out there, but so far, that is what I know, and with my non-existent knowledge of computer hardware, I'm kind of clueless. Please use simple computer terms, or explain terms you use so I can understand. Much appreciated!
