Thanks for the reply
Just tried another output lead still the same, Yes monitor is on right output as i use it on my system hdmi
Motherboard has no movement at all
unplugging all none essential devices such as ?
I built it myself.
Thanks
new Pc won't power up ?

Disconnect all drive leads from the motherboard, all front panel connectors, and all other additional USB, sound connections that you don't need.
Then power on the PC by shorting/briefly touching the 2 power pins with a screwdriver (pwr or pwrbtn) (google) - or use the on board motherboard button if it has one.
Just tried it and still the same * bangs head against desk *
Something is wrong be it ram on motherboard ?
Think I'm going to have to take a drive to stoke later in the week and get it sorted .
Do you have a PC with DDR4 memory?
If you have - reset CMOS again and try again with one of your sticks.
And I can't stress enough that you double check all PSU connections to the motherboard - really make sure that they're all securely in place, give them a form press or ideally reseat (so many times this can be the issue - do this first)

Yeah got 128gig DDR4 in my system which is on most of the time with virtual machines etc .
Far as i can see all cables are in place and pushed in fine I've total re stripped the system out and out it back together .
I'm using 8 pin for the 12 V there is a 4 pin connector too
Thanks again for all your time
Damn, i was hoping you would have smaller sticks.
I'm guessing you know what the next logical step is...
...build outside the box to eliminate shorting. :/
You could test PSU with a voltage meter - but this obviously this wont eliminate load issues.
The main sticking point is that it was working until after transit - so perhaps something moved/got dislodged...
Right stripped it all down again , to nothing re applied thermal paste everything seated everything back same wires etc and its now working ?
Not a clue !
Been powering it on and off during the day and it's been fine .
Thank you for your time and effort on this much appreciated .
No worries, glad we're making progress.
Few question, to clarify things, so i'm up to speed:
- Did you remove motherboard when you stripped it down?
- Is motherboard back in if it was removed?
- Are 'all' components added now - and you're saying it's running stable?
- Did you use all the same cables - and if you did do you know if you applied them to same drives?
Yes i removed everything from the case motherboard included , removed heatsink and cpu .
Put everything back in the case using same cables.
Only got 1 x M2 drive no other SSd drives and a power cable to the Graphics card.
Booted up right away and has been running for a hours fine now ?
Have no idea what so ever but it's working lol !
And if it carries on working - who gives a...
Great - it's a PITA but the 'scattergun' test approach was the obvious next step - hopefully it will continue to pay off.
Something must have been shorting on the case or perhaps a cable/component wasn't making a full contact with the original motherboard placement (slight bowing). A similar bowing conclusion could be considered for the CPU mount/cooler - but would be unusual for a stock cooler.
I would use and abuse as if your own for a few days - the one test i would consider running is, memtest86 for a few hours or memtest HCI (400%).
