What is wrong with my computer?!

Cptspeirs · Aug 21, 2016

Heres the situation, my computer is not powering on the power seems to come through the system for a second only. My psu works, my mobo is brand new and standoffs are correctly installed, my cpu may be dead (not sure), my ram is fine, no graphics card is in the computer, and only the CPU fan is plugged. All cables have been checked. I have no idea what it could be!

kgrevemberg :

Yes it is plugged it. The power to my.computer turns on but for only 1 second literally

Paul NZ · Aug 21, 2016

Did you put a speaker on the mobo?

kgrevemberg · Aug 21, 2016

try with 1 stick of ram in the first slot. theres also a nice thread to follow that i'll try to find and link from tomshardware

Paul NZ :

Ditto, wont beep without the speaker lol

Cptspeirs · Aug 21, 2016

Paul NZ :

No speakers attached on a monitor

kgrevemberg · Aug 21, 2016

Cptspeirs :

this is no good, you need a speaker directly connected to the mobo. it usually comes with a small little speaker you plug in or its already installed. the sound wont travel out of the green port of the mobo

Cptspeirs · Aug 21, 2016

It's weird cause I have done this with the speaker and no sound tried front and IO aux jack. I also tried with just 1 stick and same problem. Also to clarify I meant no speakers, just a monitor..

kgrevemberg · Aug 21, 2016

Hmmmmm, I'm not sure, theres many things it could be.

kgrevemberg :

So I went through the tread and made sure of all the steps. I plugged in a speaker and I'm getting no beeps. Also my mobo uses the LED debug and that's not even working.

Paul NZ · Aug 21, 2016

Cptspeirs :

We're talking about this speaker, not speakers connected to the front or back audio connections

Cptspeirs · Aug 21, 2016

Paul NZ :

Ahh no I do not have one of those but I will order one.

Paul NZ · Aug 21, 2016

That'll help us, depending on what it does when you turn this on

Cptspeirs · Sep 1, 2016

Finally received my bios speaker and plugged it into my mobo.what ever was plugged into my speakers connector before was causing my entire computer to never turn on. This cabling ruins from my cases top (haf 932) into my mobo.the cable is labeled as 1394.I have no idea what it is.

Paul NZ · Sep 1, 2016

1394 is firewire.

Never put this cable into a USB 2 header. Or anything else BUT a firewire header if the mobo has one

You can fry the header you plug it into. So did the speaker beep or what?

Cptspeirs · Sep 1, 2016

Paul NZ :

We'll the speaker didn't need to my computer ran for a good 5 minutes then I shut it down. Going to try again tomorrow after work to make sure everything is working properly. I can't believe it was just the firewire
