So I just built my new computer, and on first start up, all I get is flickering of the LED's on the case and the fan to do a few rotations and then it stops, but a few seconds later comes on again. After plugging everything in, I? stupidly connected a wrong wire and fried part of a wire to the PSU. I'm almost certain I've got everything plugged in right now, but it's doing the same flickering thing, but doesn't stay on constant.

Is my PSU dead, or what?

Thank you for the help in advance

Give us the specs of your entire PC.

Also, when you press the power button, you say that all the LED and fans turn on for a moment but then turn off? Do they keep repeating this over and over?

What video card?

Also, does the motherboard pass the POST (Power On Self Test)? It should make a beep sound to confirm POST (check manual if it's a different sound).

Don't have a video card in right now, It's not completely essential.

It doesn't stay on long enough to pass the POST

That bit is the most concerning.

Have you tried booting the PC with a video card and only 1 memory stick?
