Just built my rig but it wont start up

ok so i finished connecting all the cables and all that, but when i try to turn it on it doesnt do anything. i can see the power and reset button on, on the motherboard. any suggestions?

make sure everything is correctly tconnected to the mobo and see if u forgot any wires

the only wires i got unplugged are the ones that says vcc data-+ and ground. dont know where they go. i got an asus 4a79t deluxe.

try re-setting the motherboard on the pegs i.e removing the screws, making sure the pegs are seated well, and making sure the screws seat well when screwing it back in.

Make sure that the 24-pin power connector is SECURELY inserted into the appropriate socket. I had this problem when I moved my components into my new case.

could be bad ram then. my buddy built a computer that wouldnt post. ended up being bad ram.

try pulling out one of the sticks, one at a time to see if that helps.

Actually, the CPU power-pin socket would have 8 pin-sockets (more than likely). Typically, four of them are covered by a black plastic cap. Have you removed the cap and inserted the additional four power-pins?

i tried with the 4 pin to see it that was but i put the 8 pin on first

Just for the hell of it, take out the main 24-pin power connector and re-insert it. Make sure that it's in the socket as securely as possible.

The only explanation is that you either didn't connect the fans properly, or you didn't connect them at all. Typically, case fans connect directly to the power supply. Find the appropriate cables on the power supply for the fans. However, if the fans have small 3-pin connectors, you can connect them to the motherboard.

Connect them to the motherboard, instead.

[QUOTE="angelyoel"] are those fans suppose to be like the small ones? cuz if they are i cant find themangelyoel

I'm confused. Please, give me a full description of your problem with the fans. What fans are you having problems with? Where are they currently connected? What kinds of pins do they have? Show me some pictures of the fans.
