Ok , make sure you have the power buttons hooked up right , doesn't hurt to check. Next make sure the ram is in the first ram slot on the board and not the 2nd 3rd or 4th. Also reset the bios too.

If all else fails, then try assembling it outside of the case, with only the core components connected that it needs to post. Also make sure all the parts work separate from the machine too , such as the monitor , video card , and so on.

monitor and videocard is working i using right now and im new to this stuff how do i reset bios .

emosun

Remove the clock battery from the motherboard for five minutes then reinsert it , thats how to reset it. Make sure to check the other things I listed aswell , And also test the power supply and confirm it works in another system.

EJ101

emosun

No I don't , it will say in your motherboard manual.

Been looking around and some people believe it has to do with the cpu fan not being hooked up , is yours? Also , are all other mother board hookups inserted correctly?

EJ101

EJ101
