My pc doesn’t seem to be on

Momo 1 · Sep 16, 2020

so I have no hdmi cable so i am currently unable to actually check if its on.
i Tried switching it on to see if the fans would spin but I heard a crackling noise.
i researched and apparently it’s normal.
i waited to see if my fans would at least spin but they aren’t spinning.
from what I researched my fans are suppose to spin.
could my power supply be faulty or should I remain confident and
wait for my hdmi to arrive?

Specs of the build might help.

Crackling noises are not "normal" in my book. Just sayin'.

The system should boot up as per normal even without a monitor attached.
All connected fans should spin unless you have a 0 Db fan GPU, LED's on the Motherboard should show the boot sequence or a Digital Code if fitted.
Ensure all cables from the PSU are correctly installed and in their correct positions.
