The house PC is broken. was gonna buy another one online at HP and notice that the prices were on par with some of the gaming PC people are building, so why not try it?

I never done it so got someone else's recommendations online at pcgamehaven and this was it

Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid Tower Case $59.99 1

Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel H170 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard (GA-H170M-D3H) $92.99 1

Intel Boxed Core I5-6500 FC-LGA14C 3.20 Ghz 6 M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I56500 $203.37 1

Gigabyte AMD R9 380 256 Bit GDDR5 4GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP G1 Gaming Graphics Card GV-R938G1 GAMING-4GD $204.99 1

EVGA 600B Bronze 100-B1-0600-KR Power Supply, 600W $49.99 1

Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL14 DIMM Desktop Memory (HX421C14FBK2/8) $34.38 1

Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000DM003) $49.99

Everything was easy till I got to the wiring, and did it to the best of my abilities and some help from a friend.

Turned it on. white light around the power button and I was excited then looked at the screen "No signal" tried it on my tv "no signal"

Now I'm panicking and acting like I don't care, but I do. called some technician and who ever picked up the phone could not speak English and they hung it up on me twice.

Help how do I fixed this "No signal" ?

also no fans turned on only the power button. Which just makes a tiny expensive led light.

- did u close the cpu handle?
- did u let the notches fall back on the ramslots , push and u hear 2 clicks.
- did u connect the cpu cooler
- did you use standoff screws if ur case doesn't has raised bumps.

- did you insert the 4pin cpu cable next to the processor?
- did you insert the 24 pin cable?
- did u connect the data cable from the hdd to the motherboard?
- did u connect the psu to the hdd?
- did u connect the 6+2 pin cable to the Gpu.

now look at the manual carefully u connected correctly all single pins.

now turn it on make sure u flipped the switch at the back of the psu ad wait 20 seconds if u get screen.

I have to ask: did you use the motherboard standoffs? All that are needed and ONLY the ones needed(not leaving any under teh mobo that do not have a hole in front)?
Also, have you attached the pc speaker? Does it beep?

Chill, 90% it's all good and we'll solve it.

Thank you, its not fixed but its better than when I started. With your check list I discovered that I did not plug in something all the way, and now my pc is running, but its says "No signal" on the screen.
I could not reply sooner because for some reason it would not allow me to reply on my phone while I was out.

Can you please tell me what will come up if I do get signal. The reason I ask is I got two CD's and no optical drive.

sorry I update this too much, but do I just move on to buying a optical drive and try to intall windows and then I will get a signal?

sorry I could not reply sooner, the site would not allow my phone answers to be posted.
I used an earphone and no I did not hear a beep.
I did use some type of screws to elevate my mother board, because if I didn't most of the plugs would not match the plate.
