Hi,
I know there are many existing questions that concern, generally, the issue I am experiencing, but there are still some points that are not presented in said questions that I am still deeply confused about.
So, the situation:
Today, I helped build a new computer, using some recycled parts, such as: 1x 8gb RAM stick, an optical drive, and a hard drive. (Don't know if this is important or not)
After assembling the computer, it turned on, but no USB power or display. I assumed this was due to the recycled hard drive, that wasn't previously wiped, with data still on it. So, I tried a new hard drive, clean; nothing on it, and the same problem occurs. No display, or USB power.
At this point, I honestly have no idea what could be wrong. I was considering the RAM, but it appeared to work fine on a computer before, so I don't know.
I would really appreciate help with this, thanks.
