Please help my new build wont turn at all, no fans or anything comes on..

I'll double check the Power Switch is connected correct can you suggest something else while I'm at it..?:(:(:(
 
Re-check all your connections are secure - especially making sure that you have all the MB connectors connected. (It's very easy to overlook)

If your confident you haven't missed anything after the check - disconnect all non essential components and try to see of you can get the system to post with just the CPU, 1 stick of memory and the gfx.

Also, could you list your entire spec.
 
Edit, it worked then, the system came on but none of my fans are working!!!!

Therefore the CPU wont get cooled by the H50..

I have connected my fans up, its an Antec 902 case, I did a sort of daily chain with the fan molex connectors, then into the fan slots on the motherboard, using 2 four pin peripheral connectors which came with the PSU.

Just saw this in the Antec 902 online manual:

"There is a 120mm fan pre-installed onto each cage. Connect the 4-pin connector to the
power supply."

EDIT : IT works!!! :D

How can I be sure the H50 is plugged in and working properly?

Cheers!

If you're concerned that the case fans might be an issue disconnected them all and see if the sytem boots.

If you still have the same problem i would try disconnecting all non essential components and try to see of you can get the system to post with just the CPU, 1 stick of memory and the gfx.
 
Check my edit, the fans work I think it all works but not sure if the H50 is functioning since you cant hear it, incase my CPU burns out or something..

It should just be slotted into a system fan slot right?
 
Reading your edit - sit in the BIOS and study the temps.

The Corsair is quiet but you should be able to hear it if you put your ear close to the pump - perhaps disconnect your other fans to help.
 
I'm confused - when you wrote 'It works!!!' what did you mean?

Did it work briefly, did the fans spin, did it beep...?

Yes everything but the fans, now they work I just can't get a display on-screen.

My monitor is the Samsung T220, and it came with two cables, blue and white, the white one fits onto the graphics card port, yet no display.

Sorry, i'm still a bit confused.

Are you saying that when the case fans were not connected the system worked - i.e. posted and you were able to get into the BIOS?

And now that the fans are reconnected you can't get a display but it sounds like the sytem has posted?

No it never fully worked I meant it just turned on as in some componants came on.

Never got to the bios, I can't get the display to work.
 
If you are sure the 24-pin and 8-pin are connected (I often forget the 8-pin) and all other connections it should go. Does the GPU show any signs of life?

Ensure necessary PCI-express power going to GPU!
 
I had exactly the same problem 3 months ago, when re-assembling my rig after RMAing my mobo. Spent hours stressing over it, then it turn's out I've forgotten to connect the 8-pin to the mobo :o

What GPU have you got?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this happened to someone else a while back, they spent a few days begging for help on here, then it turns out just a faulty DVI cable! Perhaps try other DVI output on GPU, a differnt DVI cable, or even VGA cable using a dongle?
