AsRock Z77 Extreme4 turning on problems

[derpaaa]

I recently installed the Z77 Extreme4, and I've plugged in the System Panel Header wires from my case. This is pretty much all my board would need to power on, correct? I had everything on. I'm really just trying to turn it on now before I get an IDE to SATA adapter cable for my disk drives.

Any help would be appreciated and I can provide pictures if necessary.

What happens when u press the start button on the mobo itself?

 

[derpaaa]

Nothing, I'll triple check everything right now and give you a definite response.

 

[derpaaa]

Yep, nothing happened.

 

[nikorr]

I mean the PWR BTN1, next to the digits on the left.

 

[nikorr]

Do u have the 8pin and 24pin plugged in?

 

[nikorr]

Pressed that one. I do have the 8-pin and 24-pin plugged in. If it means anything, the 8pin was split into 2 4-pins for my last mobo. I'll post pics shortly.

 

[nikorr]

Is it inside of the case or outside?

Or did u test it outside of the case?

 

[nikorr]

BTW, u did used the stand offs? Right?

 

[derpaaa]

Honestly not sure what you mean by stand offs D:

 

[nikorr]

Make sure that 4/8-pin CPU power is a 12v ATX connector. Not the one for the GPU.

That ^.

[nikorr]

Can u unplug the the System Panel Header wires from your case.

Just make sure that is not the problem.

 

[nikorr]

Did anything powered on? The CPU fan?

 

[nikorr]

Is the CPU fan plugged in?

 

[nikorr]

Did you turn on the power supply switch on the back of the PSU?

 

[derpaaa]

I can't unplug them from the case, sadly; they're trapped in a small mesh cage at the front of the case. The case is quite old, so it might have just died on me.

I used the stand offs and I checked the GPU cables and suprise! I didn't have my GPU plugged in. Could that have stopped a power on?

Pics are taking a while, sorry.

 

[derpaaa]

Everything is on. The CPU fan was plugged in, but when I turned the PC on, nothing moved.

 

[nikorr]

Yes, no GPU power, no boot. That's why I asked you for the ...

CPU:
RAM: with link please.
Motherboard:
GPU:
PSU:
HDD: /SSD
OS type + version

 

[nikorr]

What is the type of connection?

HDMI? In the GPU?

 

[nikorr]

What about the fan in the PSU? Does it go on?

 

[derpaaa]

Fan in the PSU does not go on. Connection to the GPU is PCIe 3.0.
