Finishing building my new pc earlier today to find when I plug it in the mother board has a green light but nothing happens, I've checked the connections they are all in, the front panel connections are correct I've tried refitting the ramm booting without the graphics card but nothing at all.

Any other suggestions anyone?
Thank you.
 
Turn the PSU upside down and try it. No idea why but the PSU on my mates computer didn't like being a certain way up, turned it over and it worked. 0.o
 
Is the 8pin motherboard cable definitely in properly on both ends?

I had this and stressed about it for about 2 hours, thinking I'd damaged something only to realise my tinkering had pulled the 8pin motherboard cable out at the PSU end.
 
I believe it's suppose to stay in the upright position as mine is placed at the bottom of the case, I'm not sure what you mean by troubleshoot sticky?
 
I plugged the 8 pin directly from the PSU in, I also have a modular one as well (half modular psu) perhaps try with the modular one?
 
Have you tested the PSU itself to see if it powers on?

If you unfold a paper clip and stick one end in to the green wire's slot on the 24pin power cable and the other end into any of the black wire's slots, this is like a jump start for the PSU and will power it on.
 
Assuming you have a dvd drive and a hdd, swap the leads around on the mobo and see if that works. Assuming everything is powering up but you are getting no post.
 
Ill have to give that one ago tomorrow if it doesn't work and sure

MSI-z87-GD65 gaming series motherboard
Corsair vengeance pro 8gb (in slots 2&4 as mentioned in the instructions)
MSI GTX 770
Core i5-4670K
Corsair tx750w modular PSU
Be quiet! Dark rock 2 CPU cooler
Seagate barracuda 2TB HDD
Samsung 120GB SSD

I'm stressing quiet abit too... It's probably something really simple it just worries me as the build cost £1200
 
Nothing just a green light on the motherboard, pressing the button does nothing, will having I can try having the HDD disconnected, but how could that be the problem? I'm still new to fault finding
 
I guess I can always try it just worries me reading up online that it could be the parts, but they're brand new I only bought them yesterday, it's probably something really simple
