1st Computer build. Not starting up

[kwisen21]

Hello,
CPU - AMD FX 6100 6-Core Processor, 3.3 6 Socket AM3+ -

Mobo- ASUS M5A97 Evo - AM3+ - 970 - SATA

PSU- Corsair Professional Series HX1050 80 Plus Silver Certified 1050

VideoCard- Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6850 PCIE

RAM - Kingston Technology HyperX 16 GB Kit (4x4 GB Modules)

Cooler- Corsair Hydro Series H80

When i tried to start up my computer green lights on my motherboard came on. The fans also started to come on then a little beep/click noise happens and a red light appears on my motherboard where it says CPU_LED and then it shuts off. Any idea what i could have done wrong?

did you connect the 8 pin cpu 12v connector?

Did you screw the motherboard into the case using the (gold)raised mounting screws?

 

[kwisen21]

yeah the 8pin connector and yes the mounting screws where used. Could it have something to do with the power supply. The 4pin fan connector i did not use. I have 6 fans connected to the 3 pin connectors . The slot for the CPU FAN is empty for that reason so im wondering if that has anything to do with it,

 

[mcnumpty23]

you need to connect the heatsink fan to the cpu header

 

[kwisen21]

I have no spot to mount it

Its in between the ram and the 8-pin along the side. Page 2-2 of the English version number 3.

Its a 4 pin header, if you only have a three pin connector it will still connect just fine leave the left (as oriented on that picture) pin open.

 

[mcnumpty23]

not sure what you mean no spot to mount it

plus doesnt that board have 4 fan headers? if so how have you connected 6 fans

Totalknowledge hit the likely problem. For explanation of what the BIOS beep codes mean look at page 2-45 of your manual (English version); different beeps are meant to point your troubleshooting in the right direction.

For non-EFI/UEFI BIOS mobos, here is a link to AMI/Phoenix beep codes explained:

The connectors for my Liquid cooling were bad so my processor was overheating

I have the same CPU, mobo and ram. I cannot get mine to post at all. Not even a beep. I try to touch the heatsink to see if it's not even warm at all, with or without fan. Is it possible I got an old mobo with old bios that does not support the CPU?
