[RL] Building a computer only for it not to even boot up

OH NO

always run the first boot with the side off so you can look @ the little warning lights on the motherboard!
silly-vanilly
sometimes the ram doesn't seat right (i had to fucking push it in so hard to make it click on my sisters board for some reason) and that's the 1 issue for not booting.

RAM not being seated, and the power supply not being plugged up quite right, yeah. I once put one together, and of all things, I uh. forgot to plug the power button up to the motherboard....

GENTLY SHAKES YOUR HAND
silly-vanilly
listen it doesn't matter how many years you put together your own computer. it doesn't matter if you know every step forwards and backwards.
silly-vanilly
you will forget something and it will make you feel stupid when you realize what it is
Pixle
There;s no lights on the motherboard at all
Pixle
I ordered a PSU tester I'm wondering if my power supply is just a lemon
Pixle
I removed most of everything and just tried power supply with the Motherboard and CPU plugs in
Pixle
still nothing
Pixle
silly-vanilly
oh oogh yeah the psu might just be a dud
Pixle
like with the switch it doesn't seem like there's any electrical power

the first time I built a computer my mobo was just. dead out of the package, apparently it's not uncommon because they're so sensitive to static
Fiery Grump
oh, same mobo as I have
Fiery Grump
the only way to know if it’s the mobo or the psu is to have a psu test kit on hand since the B550-A Pro doesn’t have warning lights
Fiery Grump
If you happen to have an unused psu on hand you could test with that
Pixle
I got a PSU test kit yesterday night so we'll see
Pixle
honest question since I NEVER had to deal with dead mobos, can the CPU on it still be saved that I put in it or am I screwed
Pixle
I made sure to put enough thermal paste and everything too
Fiery Grump
If the mobo is dead, the parts put into it should be fine
Pixle
Fingers crossed I'll cross that bridge
Pixle
When it happenes that all are okay
