Hey everyone.
I'm in dire need of some help, I finished building a computer yesterday, and for some reason when I turn it on, it does not boot.
My Parts list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/4sCtkT
I'm sure it's probably something very simple, if anyone can help me out, please do.
The only LED lit on the motherboard is the power LED. Also, only the CPU fan spins, I'm not sure if the others only turn on when it gets hot or what.



Thanks,
Jon

So when u press power button, only fans start spinning, you cant see anything on your screen? Post screen?
Once u press power button u should see red leds go on and off for couple of seconds, then it should post. Green led power indicator will always stay on even when pc is off.

When I press the power button, the GFX card lights up and CPU fan starts spinning. The screen just continues to display no signal. No other LEDs light up. Just the power one.

Try to connect your video cable to motherboard instead of GPU.
Also check all cables that you have connected. Make sure they all the way in!
But do red leds lit up on your motherboard once u press power button? 1 near ram slots, 1 near cpu, 1 near gpu and 1 near chipset. This indicated that it have passed system check.

Still nothing.
Here is a list of everything I have connected to the motherboard:
HHD
RAM Sticks x2
CPU fan
CPU power
Motherboard Power
Case LEDs
4x Case Fans
GFX Card
Network Card
Case Buttons and USBs

Anything missing?

Edit:
My screen has power, but does not detect any input.

As it stands, the only led on the motherboard that lights up, is the power one. Even after a start, no others light up, not even for a second.
The CPU fan is running, GFX card lit up, but that is all. I have made sure all cables that are currently connected are firmly connected.
Screen still does not detect an input.

Well red led must light up if everything is fine with your motherboard or other components as far as i know. Even if u remove RAM and CPU and leave bare motherboard connected to power supply, those red leds will light up and remain on to indicate the failure. If everything is fine these leds should light 1 by 1 for about 0.5-1 sec (being tested) (from what ive seen) And if u sure that all cables connected properly both into motherboard and power supply then something wrong with hardware.
Maybe other people can help u.
Read motherboard manual about how asus self check works.
