Case fans turn on, CPU cooler fan turns on, but no display, USBs don't work, and no beep!

MintChocChip5 · Mar 29, 2017

I built my PC once but there was no display. Sat on the phone for an hour and a half with a friend who works with computers. He told us it was likely the motherboard came dead. We sent back the one we had and got a new one but after installing everything by the manual of my motherboard I STILL had the same exact problem! I've tried testing the RAM, uninstalling the fans, uninstalling the GPU, unplugging the hard drive, and unplugging the CPU 8-pin and the PCI-E. Anybody got any suggestions? One of my other friends said to get a new CPU, but I would have to wait another 2-5 days for it to ship via Amazon. Please help!

What parts are in the build?

Darthutos · Mar 29, 2017

what is your power supply?
brand and model please.

littleleo · Mar 29, 2017

Sounds like your power supply is too weak for your build, or you don't have it all connected properly. List your build specs please.

The power supply fan does turn on. There are two wires that aren't in use. I didn't see anything that they matched with.

did you take it apart just now?
that's a big no no and voided your 5 years warranty.

only legitreviews said it was an okay psu because it was so cheap and got a 5 years warranty.

read the last part of conclusion.
cannot find another review, that's a bad sign

another toms hardware user said it crapped out on him after two months.

edit: just because the fans on the power supply turn doesn't mean it's good.

I just unplugged things and plugged them in. Nothing was taken apart.

MintChocChip5 · Mar 29, 2017

I'm bring my PC to geek squad tomorrow to get an opinion from them

The fan LEDs do turn on if that helps

Darthutos · Mar 29, 2017

that 50 dollar psu has leds?

MintChocChip5 · Mar 29, 2017

LED fans yes

Pro tip: If a PSU has LEDs, and you've never heard of it before, don't buy it.

But seriously...it's gotta be the PSU. RMA that one, select on from tier one or two, and try again.

I'm using this case mainly because of its LEDs. The case was the stylish part of my build.

check your pcparpicker they tell you it could be imcompatibility with the parts you choose and motherboard may need bios update to work with your cpu seee if oyu could check what bios version you have .

Hey, so it ended up being the cpu socket that was damaged by the company. Everything is fine now! Thanks for the help everyone!
