My 6-year old PC that I built with the help of his and a few other KZbin techies just did this and I’m betting it’s due to a bad RAM stick after watching this. Thanks.

[@billc8761]

Hi. I see how long ago this video was done but I still want to say thanks a lot! I built my first pc today by myself. I of course had done some homework prior to building by watching videos, reading posts etc. Well anyway, when it was all together, and I turned the power on for the first time .... no video. Not even a blip on the screen. Not a good feeling .. lol . Thankfully I hit your video early on, and the problem turned out to be I that I had not hooked up the 2nd power cable to the board. After doing that, it was pretty much smooth sailing.. Installing Windows and drivers, etc. I am sending this from my new pc. THANK YOU again!

[@tsuyukusaneshiro9830]

Is the cpu supported, I'm having the same problem with a discreet video card and the only thing I can think of is that my cpu isn't supported, I check the manufactures website and needless to say my cpu is not support without a bios update so I either have to wait for a new bios chip to come (next week) or hope a pic shop in town has a spare cpu I could use to put in it and update the bios.

[@big0jule]

yes i finaly found the problem. at least the solution, not sure how thats help but i followed the trick that i saw on some forum that consist of scrubing the ram pins against my pant before puting it back in and... surprisingly it worsk just fine now thaks for the help, it's really apreciated.

[@1menatbpe]

butt ugly but works vs fancy and may not work. I'd say give me the ugliest one u got. as for touching the mobo. I don't have any safety straps on me but have a metal case so I touch it and then the only thing I'll never touch when on is the psu. but every time I open the case my hands sweat like crazy. imagine a very greasy pizza the ones that you can see light reflecting from. (I wish I was exaggerating even a little). I've also never felt any shocks while working on PC's yet.

[@gxmp.]

dont complain if its not yours you can not complain it is rude and makes people argure to you so delete this comment you did not make the hardware ok? be gratful of what we had before. they might be people on low budget using them.

[@ryanm.191]

Is it possible that the 4 pin header for the cpu isn’t supplying it with enough power, but an 8 pin could

[@CCAPACCO]

the presence of more pins (psu wires) for a connector for same voltage (cpu uses 12 volt, the yellow ones) means that the device draws more load, like high end video cards like the one in the video vs lower end ones of higher wattage. i didnt understand your question thought, sorry

[@ryanm.191]
