Hey everyone, hope you're all well.
Today (More like last night) I found myself in a dilemma. I completed a new build about 2am only to find out that the sucker wouldn't power on. This being the first time I've ever completed a build that didn't initially power on I found myself in a mild panic-like state.
I'm looking for input as to what the issue could be from those of you who've been here before.
Build:
ASRock Z77 EXtreme4 LGA 1155
OCZ ZT750W Fully Modular PSU
MSI Radeon 7950 Twin Frozr
Intel Core i5 3570k
Coolermaster Hyper 612 CPU Cooler
Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 8GB
Symptoms:
Upon total build completion, once plugged into the wall and PSU switched on nothing lights up. No Motherboard LED indicators, no noise, no anything.
Possible Solutions:
Headed back to the apartment now to check two things:
-Paperclip test the PSU
-Check for grounded motherboard. (Installed Mobo without double-checking for spare leads)
Any other comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated you guys! Thanks!
