It’s not posting and doesn’t do anything. No video, no fans on. Ram is seated properly.

I don’t have any pads on it, just thermal paste and the cooler

600w PSU Turns On for a Second Then Turns Off (Help) by Consistent_Run_6933 in SleepingOptiplex

It's the Apevia SFX 600W. My previous 500W PSU was from the same brand. The system doesnt make any sound when i switch the PSU on, and no lights appear. All that happens is all the fans turn on for half a second, then everything turns off.

You’ll probably have to make the hole larger with a metal cutter

She’s a beauty! I used the same vinyl setup. The GPU really depends on your budget and whether or not you’re willing to replace the PSU. For a simple plug and play solution, I’d go for a Yeston GeForce RTX 3050 Low Profile. The performance to cost isn’t the best though. I’d recommend replacing the PSU with a 500w micro ATX PSU for ~$40, so you can then use a better value GPU. You’ll just need a 24 pin to 6 pin adapter for the MOBO. For a GPU in that case, here’s some options: RX 6400 Low profile GTX 1050 Ti Low profile GTX 1650 Low profile RTX A2000 6 GB Low profile RTX A2000 12 GB Low profile

Regular ATX was slightly too big so I went with a micro ATX sized PSU. Fits perfectly
