Help! My New PC Build Won’t Power On

Asked By TechExplorer42 On

I just finished assembling my first PC, and I'm having trouble getting it to turn on. I've double-checked that all the PSU cables to the motherboard are securely connected. I've also gone over the system panel header repeatedly and ensured the RAM is seated properly. I even tested the PSU separately to confirm it's working, but nothing seems to help. Earlier, when I mistakenly hooked up the system panel headers wrong, the case lights turned on, but I can't seem to recreate that. My setup includes an Asus Tuf B650 motherboard, a MAG A850 PSU, a Kraken 360 cooler, a Radeon 7800xt GPU, and 64gb of Crucial DDR5 RAM.

Does your motherboard have any LEDs for troubleshooting? My recent build had a RAM issue, and I solved it by flashing the BIOS using a USB drive. Might be worth a shot!

I faced a similar issue; the BIOS flash lights didn't turn on for me either at first. I had to troubleshoot a bit before it worked!

It has some troubleshooting LEDs, but none of them have lit up so far.

What CPU are you using? Just checking, are you using the case switch to power it on? Also, is there any sign of life, like fans spinning?

No fans are spinning at all, and yes, I'm using the switch on the case. It's a Ryzen 7 7800x3D.

Have you checked if the PSU is actually turned on? Sometimes it sounds silly, but it’s a common oversight!

TechExplorer42 -

Yeah, the PSU is definitely on.
