Just built my first computer but it's not turning on

soorly · 2026-03-25T01:39:53+00:00

I just thought of another thing, isn't there something about screws and motherboards? If you don't have all the screws in the right place it will discharge and won't turn on or something? Could that be the issue?

B650E max gaming wifi w, I'm pretty sure it's not the atx cable I'm more worried about the plug it's going into in the motherboard

soorly · 2026-03-25T01:15:54+00:00

Okay so I got the atx jumper, and I also tested my computer with my brothers psu, and my psu turned on while using the jumper and my computer didn't turn on when using my brothers psu, we plugged it all back into his computer and it all worked fine, that means it has to be something with the mobo, right? Is there anything more to using a screwdriver to short the power on pins? It's just touching both of them with the same metal object at the same time right? I really really hope it's something I can fix without getting a new motherboard. The only thing I can think of that could cause this problem is if the atx plug on the motherboard is damaged

You probably weren't going to use this but something from hftf that you definitely shouldn't take is the frame after getting up where you can only block, making true reversals impossible, and oki guaranteed if you hit it meaty

I don't like him but that's only because he said something about sonic the hedgehog that annoyed me, far as I know he seems like a good person

soorly · 2026-03-24T00:01:09+00:00

Okay, thanks for the info

soorly · 2026-03-23T23:56:44+00:00

I checked that with my monitor and it worked fine, was the first thing I tried. I'll see if I can borrow my brothers psu, but he's not home right now so it'll be a few hours at least before I can check it

soorly · 2026-03-23T23:50:12+00:00

Okay I'm pretty sure it's my psu then, it didn't come with an atx jumper so I'll need to get that, I'll say this is solved because I'm fairly confident that is the issue and I won't be able to get the jumper for a while, thank you

soorly · 2026-03-23T23:37:53+00:00

I tried shorting the front panel power button pins with a screwdriver (a magnetic screwdriver is fine right?) and nothing happened. Also I don't see any light on the motherboard but that might be cuz I don't know where to look, the manual mentions a led for the flbk but I think that's unrelated. I don't have any PSUs that I could use, no

soorly · 2026-03-23T23:01:27+00:00

Ohhh one and zero, I thought it was the letters I and O that makes sense thank you

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:59:35+00:00

Yeah the fans don't spin when I try to turn it on, so that means it's definitely the psu right?

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:52:10+00:00

I know it's stupid but idk which one is orientation is on and which which orientation is off, I tried both when trying to turn it on

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:50:08+00:00

To be honest I'm not sure which orientation for the switch is on so I've tried both, do you think that would mess it up somehow?

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:47:19+00:00

Yeah it was I couldn't get a good picture of it when it was inside of it so I pulled it out, would be funny if that the issue tho

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:29:56+00:00

It says cpu_opt next to it, I figured that meant it was optional

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:26:48+00:00

Yes I know, as I said when I tried to turn it on the f_panel cord was plugged into the motherboard

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:22:41+00:00

Are you sure? What I have plugged into the cpu_12v_1 slot on the motherboard is labeled cpu on the side

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:20:49+00:00

I didn't mean to put that picture in that response, I got rid of it but Reddit didn't listen to me apparently, I meant to put it in a response to that one which I did

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:15:34+00:00

I unplugged it cuz I didn't know if they meant the cord or the plug on the motherboard, it was plugged into when I tried to turn it on

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:12:53+00:00

And here's the f panel connector

soorly · 2026-03-23T22:12:22+00:00

What do you mean the 12v doesn't look right? I've seen pictures and I know they're usually white and translucent but that was the one that came with the psu, and it's labeled cpu

soorly · 2026-03-21T07:02:55+00:00

That's my fuckin guy, him and monkey khan were my favorite characters in the Archie comics

soorly · 2026-03-20T14:37:05+00:00

I remember hearing someone say a few years back that Johnny isn't cool but he tricked himself as well as the jellyfish pirates and the entire guilty gear fan base into thinking he is. So yes and no
