My newly assembled PC is not working even though the power light is working

Puneet_9 · May 25, 2017

Hello..
I bought a new PC and after assembling it, when I power it on only the front power light is working rather then that no CPU fan, no GPU fan neither the front fan is spinning..
Just front power light except then that nothing in the whole cabinet is working....
Specs :-
1) Intel G4560 7th
2) Gigabyte GA-H110M-H(motherboard)
3) Gigabyte 1050ti OC 4gb DDR5 G1 gaming (GPU)
4) Corsair vengeance DDR4 8gb ram
5) Corsair Hercules 530w (PSU)
6) 2TB HDD Seagate
7) Corsair SPEC-01 Cabinet

is there any way that you can take a few photos of your motherboard with everything connected so that we could take a look for problems ?

also while ou take the pictures, upload them and share here the links, reseat the ram modules o nthe pc, and also, check and plug proeprly the eatx 12v cable form the psu into the mainboard

did you connected the cpu fan in the cpu_fan connector in the mainboard?

remember that if you bought a gpu, you need to connect the monitor on the gpu, not the mainboard connector for the monitor

that's the idea of him taking photos and showing us . so we can get a better idea of the situation. it maybe something simple like the cpu power cable not being inserted . front panel connectors being inserted wrongly . etc etc

sometimes you ask for pictures but op desn' pos it or reply again, that is why i mentioned that

atljsf :

then it becomes a case of how desperate they are to find a solution :lol: or simply reply i have no device to take pictures have you any other suggestions ? i get your point - it is just faster to diagnose the issue and solve it with pics . (some of the time! ) unless they have some stonking cpu cooler 2 gpus and their hand in front of the lens

Puneet_9 :

thanks for uploading those

when you installed the motherboard to the case .. did you use these ?

adiec · May 26, 2017

just read your updated OP and that motherboard will not work with the g4560 without a bios update .

the g4560 is a kaby lake cpu , the h110 motherboards were initially produced for the 6th generation skylake cpus, whilst they do support 7th gen cpus , they require a bios update to make them compatible. this bios update cannot be done without access to a 6th gen cpu ( for example the i3 6100). the best courses of action are :-

either return the motherboard and get a b250 series motherboard

take the computer to a store and pay for the bios to be updated

borrow a 6th gen cpu from a friend and update the bios

in the picture , i don't see you plugged the 6 pin power cable on the gpu

if the board is h110 and the cpu is 7th gen you do need the bios update

its a gtx 1050 ti .. they don't require the power cable do they ? isn't that connector for sli ? or am i having a brain pollution moment ?

atljsf · May 26, 2017

i know it is a 1050 but i see a connector there, or the picture is blurry and i am confusing things

there is a couple gtv 1050ti that requires a 6 pin power connector, which brand and model is that one?

adiec · May 26, 2017

i'm wondering if the problem is now solved though ?

atljsf · May 26, 2017

if bios was updated it should be, if not, return cpu or mainboard

this gpu does require a 6 pin power cable

seems we shall wait for an update . some of these h110 boards have apparently been updated already but there will still be tonnes out there that haven't .

adiec · May 26, 2017

atljsf :

i thought that myself and then i looked at the OP to find the gpu.. noticed it was a 1050ti and ignored it.. was only then i noticed the g4560 and the 6th gen motherboard.

i have learnt something new ! yay! that 1050 ti needs the 6 pin

another day another lesson learned

cheers.
