I have a aio cpu cooler and 2 case fans that are not spinning or turning on at all. My trident z rgb ram is also not lighting up . This my first build and I don't know what's wrong. I know my mother board and psu work. Plz help
Don't forget about the PSU Yes, the bare build is mobo, one stick of ram, cpu, cooler, power switch cable, 8-pin and 24-pin PSU cables. Fans other then those from cooler may be connected of not, does not matter. Monitor connected to motherboard. And that's all required to successfully boot machine and reach BIOS. If that does not happen,one of the connected components is not working.
but it doesn't answer why even the case fans are not spinning. I'm currently at work but once I get home I will make sure everything is 100% plugged in. The whole situation just doesn't make sense though. I know the fans work because I did the paper clip method and they all turned on. Mabey that can help you figure out the problem.
It's like 90% of situations like this are caused by something very basic, like a ram stick not fully seated or some cable not connected. All of this can be solved easily, it just need to be found what exactly is not okay.
ok, the 8 and 24 pin are fully in and it's still doing the same thing. Should I take pics or what? I'm so confused and worried about my system right now. Plz help
Okay, how about those LEDs above 24 pin slot - are any lighting when starting up? If no, check if you have power button on case correctly connected to motherboard.
You are not making that any easier. Listen, I'm not writing about some random lights on motherboard that are there for fun only. I'm talking about 4 debug LEDs located just above 24 pin connector. Check your motherboard manual if you can't locate them. I need to know which ones of them light up, for how long, in what order, which one stays lit (if any). Without that info I'm unable to help you.
