Hey everyone, I've just built my PC, but I'm facing a bummer: it refuses to boot up! Not even the fans are spinning, and I'm at a total loss. Here are my components:
- MSI B850 PZ
- Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2x16) 6000 MHz
- Ryzen 5 7600x (planning to upgrade to 9800x3d later)
- RTX 3080
- LianLi V100R case
- Aorus Elite 1000W power supply
If any of you have suggestions on what I should check or do next, I'd really appreciate it!

Verify that all cables are connected correctly, especially the CPU and motherboard cables. I know it sounds basic, but we have to cover all bases here!
Double-check that all your front panel connectors are properly hooked up to the motherboard. Also, ensure the EPS (CPU power) and the 24-pin power connector are securely connected. It's easy to miss these during setup.
I’ve got everything plugged in. The motherboard seems to be getting power, but there are no error messages from the LED indicators.
Have you looked into the front panel connectors? I’ve messed them up a few times during builds. Here’s a link with an image guide for reference, just in case!
Check the essentials: make sure everything is plugged in, the PSU is switched on, and any power plugs at the wall are live. If that doesn’t help, try reseating the RAM and check that everything is firmly in place.
I’ve gone through everything twice already. It’s still not working.
First off, make sure the power switch on your PSU is turned on! It sounds simple, but it’s a common oversight.
Yep, I checked that, and it’s definitely on.
For sure, I reseated all the cables multiple times to be safe.
