Problem with the homemade computer setup
Problem with the homemade computer setup
Hello,
I switched my case and reassembled everything into the new one.
When I power on the PC, the fans start and I hear a boot-up sound.
There is no video output; the keyboard and mouse lights don’t illuminate.
The GPU fans also aren’t working.
I checked the cables at the power supply—everything seems connected properly.
In my previous case, there was a DVD reader slot I didn’t use on the new setup.
I’m not sure if that’s the problem. Should I still boot up in BIOS and select the correct drive?
Any suggestions?
PS: I recently purchased a CPU with a pin issue. It didn’t fit properly into the socket. Could this have caused damage? My old CPU worked fine.
I changed my case and put everything back together in it to the new one.
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
Please mention what you've changed as in their makes and models. If you have a short in your case, then no it won't even allow you to power up, let alone POST.
Do you have any images or specifications for the computer? Also, was the 4 or 8 pin connected to the motherboard, usually located at the top of the board? Did you connect the 6 or 8 pin to the GPU? And is the display cable plugged into the GPU rather than the motherboard?
