I aimed to upgrade my old MacBook for gaming purposes. I spent a lot of time looking into parts and believe they all work together. I gathered everything and followed several guides to ensure accuracy. When I tested the system, nothing displayed on the screen and no fans or lights activated. Any advice on troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Is that the Windows PC you constructed? Would it be helpful to detail the components? It's hard to make any assumptions without that information.

I rechecked all the cable connections a third time and fortunately it worked out.

Congrats on the new build, glad you figured it out. Start testing your new system and check your temps. When I first tried it, it went really wrong, broke it lol.

I haven't received windows yet since I don't have a computer to download it, so I'm having to access it from the library but it only works when it's running in the BIOS.
