Problems with new build

[Fallap]

So ive builded my new PC today (Still need the Videocards though) Ive connected everything as it should...

.. and nothing happends, the PSU fan does not spin, neither does the case fans. Only thing that happends is that the green LED on the mobo lights. (ASUS P5E)

When i turn on the power, and pressed the Powerbutton on the case. All the fans with LED's on them, Blink for a 1/10 second or so.

have you made sure all cables are where they should be and secured properly (double check all to be sure) and all the motherboard risers are fitted where they should, probably the 2 most common problems easily overlooked when building a new pc

 

[Fallap]

The IDE, SATA cables, the 24pin and 4pin from PSU to mobo should be set the right place. But Im lost in the small "headers" my manual's didnt help alot to make them match. Thats prolly where the problem is.

I should probabaly get somethign to eat (Have forgot to eat all day because of building my system, even forgot to show up for work... lol )

Thanks anyway *Cookies*

Edit: Ive doublechecked the "Headers" and the other cables, and they all appear to be placed in the right spot

What kind of PSU is it? What's the complete specs of the rest of the build?

EDIT:Typo

I remember this one time trying to help my buddy figure out what he did wrong with a build, pretty much same thing you're describing, but really a shot in the dark. Every now and then teh CMOS jumper is shipped in the reset position. When I was looking at his board I didn't notice right away, but in the manual it was in big bold letters. I slapped him with it, switched the jumper, and hit the power button. He is STILL kicking himself over it.

Il go check that right away, thanks!

Yeah definitely not PSU. It's mroe than likely an error on the motherboard. Like Silverel said I "+1" that!

 

[Fallap]

How do I unreset the CMOS on my board? :S

You should have a cmos jumper, usually near the battery. Check and see if it is on the right two pins. You should have information in your manual regarding which cmos jumper pins are which.

 

[Fallap]

Okay, I removed the battery and changed the location of the blue plactic thing,

 

[Silverel]

Mmm, the P5E should have a switch instead of jumpers. Check your manual, It should be page 2-22. Item 2.6

English version manual anyways.

 

[Fallap]

I noticed the switch, but I thought it was for something else

 

[Fallap]

This is getting rediculus, everything is where it's supposed to be... and yet it wont work.

Note to brain: NExt time order the dang thing pre build.

 

[Fallap]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! i GOT IT TO WORK

 

[Silverel]

well, what was it?

 

[Fallap]

It was the 4Pin PSU connector on the mobo, it was placed in the wrong way *Embarresed*
