I suck im newb

[GuitarDaddy]

The standard trouble shooting procedure at this point is

1. take the mobo out of the case and set it on a cardboard box(eliminates possible case grounding)

2. hook up just the essentials, CPU, GPU, Ram and power supply, and of course the power and reset wires (or you can jump the two power pins) and see if it will boot.


It would also help if you listed all your component including power supply here so we can see what your working with.

you left out a couple of important things

1) sell/return parts
2) www.dell.com

Come on, give the kid a break! Everybody was a first timer once.


On the other hand he doesn't sound to serious about solving the problem, he needs to drop the I suck, I,m a noob bit and get serious about fixing the problem. There are plenty here that will help.

There have I forgot to piss anyone off

it's not just being a noob, it's about not doing your research and reading articles like a stupid kid. it's just like one of those people who buy a porsche and then crashes it doing 30mph.

besides, the solution can easily be found using google. the kid is just being lazy. let this be a lesson to him.

You're still leaving out the front panel switch. How can you turn the computer on if the button you're pushing isn't connected to it?

Look through your motherboard manual carefully. You should see a section titled Front Panel Connector or something like that. Within that section there will be terms like HD_LED (harddisk LED), PWR_LED (power LED) , RST (reset switch), PW_ON (power on). There should also be a diagram of your motherboard describing the location of these connectors. You'll notice that on the inside of your case, on the backside of the face that has the power switch and LEDs, there are a few wires that are labeled similarly to the terms that I listed above. Plug these wires into the motherboard according to what the manual says.

Then try pushing the little button again.

The board should beep. Go look up the beep codes in your manual.

Also take out a stick of RAM and leave one in Slot 1

Wtf.
A) You're being a troll
B) You're just stupid becuase you're not describing the problem in detail
C) You want to waste our time
D) Both A and C.

Well after searching through his posts:
A) He doesn't know english (which is fine, that's not a problem)
B) He makes random posts for the sake of making them and just leaves the thread to die
C) He's not lying, because 3 or 4 of his posts DO indicate that he ordered these parts
D) All of the above.

op - you are acting like a f*cking idiot. there are many peeps here that will help you out, but f*cking chill out and grow up for a second. those are nice parts, did you pick them out or did somebody else do it for you? building these machines is not that hard so do a little research and ask educated questions in a somewhat mature manner.

What front wire? If you hear the psu spin up when you hit the power switch that means the power switch is connected correctly. Now you need start checking your memory in different slots as The Pentium Guy suggested. Also make sure your video card is properly seated in the PCI-E slot. You might also want to locate your CMOS jumper (will also be described in the mb manual) and verify that it's in the correct position. If it is then you could try resetting the CMOS.
