New PC build won't work

Eric Hunter22 · Feb 2, 2017

Hi!

I've recently built my first ever PC with the following list

http://

It turns on and then it reboots after about 12 seconds, once it has rebooted it runs fine and keeps running until I stop it by pressing the power button. No video imput is going out of the graphics card. (all fans work etc)

When I tried removing everything except for the Motherboard, PSU, RAM and CPU it still does this exact thing.

Ram is plugged into the correct slot, the motherboard is installed correctly, the CPU is installed correctly with thermal paste and every single wire and SATA connection has been checked at least 10-15 times with the manual.

Any idea what might be causing this? Any help would be appreciated greatly, I've tried everything I can think of.

It maybe that your motherboard is set to output graphics thru the video port on the mothherboard. As the i3 you selected has onboard graphics, try connecting the monitor cable to the motherboard port instead of the graphics card.
Then if you can get into the bios, you can change the output option (perhaps to Auto) and switch over the cable to the graphics card .

Have you connected the 4 pin power connector to the mothernboard ?
I know its a obvious thing, but just eliminating it from the enquiries.

ALSO, if you have connected the case speaker to the mobo speaker header, you should be getting a boot beep.
Does your case have a speaker/buzzer ?
No beep is not good.
One beep is good
Multi beeps indicates where the fault may be

My PSU didn't have one

Nine Layer Nige :

Yes but it's not beeping

Eric Hunter22 :

Ehh ??
You need to connect the PSU to the 4 pin CPU connector on the motherboard. Its marked ATX12V1 on the board.
The PSU has some separate cables that will fit.

It doesn't, but apparantly I'm supposed to split a 2x4 to 2 2x2 and use one of them

A 4 pin CPU power connector will only go in one way as the connecting block is keyed to only accept the correct PSU cable.
Do not force it in. It will either fit easily or its the wrong one.

Sorry, I didn't understand a word of that. :??:

OK, I will slow down.... can you see the 4 pin connecting block on the motherboard marked ATX12V1 ?

I figured it out and the machine is now running. Thank you 100000 times
