Hello People of this Abode,

My penis is building a computer. He has everything connected from what i can see and he is not getting post screen/ fans spinning at all. I will put his parts list below so you can see the parts.

Any help will be appreciated as we are probably being full retards.

Parts:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Power Supply: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Your what is build this?

Does your "member" have the additional 8pin ATX connected to the board?

Does it have additional power connected to the GFX card?
 
This is what happens when you allow a reproductive organ loose with a box of components.

It's a 'Phallus'-y that the reproductive system can build a pc, they always 'balls' it up somehow. 'Urine' a bit of trouble here to be honest.

Uhm, sure. Any help? He didn't fk anything up its like setting lego together..
 
Case wired to the board correctly?

I.E when he presses the power button is it actually connected to the boards front panel header correctly and so shorting out the two pins like its suppose to.

A flat blade screw driver can also do the same job if he's unsure about the wiring.

Is there a power switch on the back of the PSU? is it ON?

Same for the wall socket, is that ON too.

This isn't even the case this is an out of case check... So hes connected the case just power sw to the board, flat head screw driver doing exactly the same, and the power is on at the wall & back of psu.
 
I had the same problem only a couple of days ago, my rig wouldn't switch on I tried it in the case and then out the case.

At the end I was going mad, so I ended up disconnecting everything removing everything and started from the beginning. This time ii made sure the 24pin and 8pin power connect were pushed in properly and used just one stick of RAM and hey presto it started working.
 
Quick Update, my friend will do the Paperclip test, the Memok test and hell give me results, with my first build i had the same issue it didn't boot can't remember why but all the components were good..
