The gaming desktop is not turning on.
The gaming desktop is not turning on.
Hey all,
So I am new to pc building and I bought all the parts to build a gaming desktop.
I followed this
tutorial
on YouTube, and around
55:14
where the youtuber plugged in the PSU and all that, his machine powers on while mine does not. I did pretty much everything.. well there is one thing that I did not do and it's installing the PowerSW and powerLed (Because those ones are really, really hard to plug in to the motherboard - Could that be the reason?) and maybe the fans may not connect I think. The YouTubers lights turned on (ram rgb, fans also shows light).. but mine does not.
However, the motherboard lights up RGB (to the left) - When I plugged the motherboard into the graphics card, Monitor shows No Signal. I also tried plugging the HDMI cable into the motherboard socket too. (To no avail) HDMI cable works, tested on laptop before.
What exactly is the problem? I checked the PSU and doesn't seem anything is wrong there. I'm not even given the option to install windows either.
See pictures below of problem:

Hey there,
It seems you've invested quite a bit into setting up your PC! Let's examine the situation and see if we can resolve the problem and get your gaming desktop back online.
Initially, those PowerSW and powerLed connectors could be small, yet they play a vital role. Make sure to verify their connections on the motherboard. These tiny pins might be challenging to align correctly, but they're essential for getting your system to power up.
Since the RGB lights on your motherboard are lit, it's a positive sign that some power is reaching the board. However, it's important to confirm that your CPU cooler, RAM, and GPU are correctly installed in their slots. A loose part could lead to power-up difficulties.
For the fans, ensure they're properly linked to the motherboard's fan headers so they can spin up and maintain adequate cooling.
If you're experiencing a "No Signal" problem on your monitor, double-check that your GPU is properly seated and the HDMI cable is firmly connected. Also, verify that the monitor source is set to HDMI.
It might also help to plug all power connectors from your PSU into your components, paying special attention to the GPU connection.
If needed, start with a minimal configuration—remove any unnecessary parts like extra storage drives and keep only the essentials: CPU, RAM, GPU, and PSU. This can help pinpoint whether another component is causing the issue.
Keep in mind, PC assembly can be complex, but methodical troubleshooting usually works well. Good luck, and feel free to provide more details if you need further help!
