I just replaced my mobo and thought it was going swell but now, after 2 hours of error-checking, my computer won't start no matter what I do.
My specs are as follows: >NZXT H440 Midi Tower Black/Red >ATX 12V V2.4, 80 Plus Gold, Modular, 8x 6+2-pin PCIe, 12x SATA, 11x Molex, 2x FD >8700k i7, LGA1151 >Corsair Hydro Series H60 CPU Cooler >Z370-H Gaming Motherboard >HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz 16GB >1080 Ti >SATA 6GB/s, 535MB/370MBs/, 9.5mm adapter
The only indication my motherboard is giving me is an orange light when I connect it to power, which I guess means it's being fed.
Beyond that, when I press the power-button nothing happens.
Every wire I have is connected as far as I can see (pic related). Please help me Jow Forums, I'm scared and confused. >inb4 /pcbg/ They were of no help.
Make sure RAM is seated properly and in the correct slots refer to your motherboards documentation.

Did you try clear CMOS?
Daniel Bennett
I was aiming for homosexuality, yes.
I tried taking all the ram out and placing it all back in again, and no differing in result. Do you think my RAM might be fucked?
I didn't see any such option on my motherboard, and turning it on is a no-go as mentioned...

You remove the CMOS battery the old way then.
Did you try without dGPU?
Did you try with a single RAM with different slots?
Sebastian Kelly
long shot, but a friend of mine had a similar issue - turns out the grounding for a screw on the corner of the mobo got fucked up. once he took the screw out, it booted fine.

Are you sure that SSD has the same key as the slot? To me it seems to not fit proberly. Or is the slot slanted?

Oh, if absolutely nothing happens... Did you check that the power switch leads are plugged to the right pins? It would at least blink something desperately if it tried to power up and started frying.

I can't seem to dig up this mystical CMOS battery anywhere on my mobo. And the instruction booklet gives nothing.
I have, since my last post, tried every piece of ram, by itself in every slot, and nothing...
I also tried taking out the GPU but that didn't do anything either.
So try unscrewing a screw at a time out of my motherboard?
I am, checked it just now. It fits, but it is cutting it a little close.
I get the orange light, which indicates the motherboard is receiving power. If it had started but flashed one of the helpful "something is wrong" lights, I'd be fine.
