is everything plugged in? does anything come on?

it happened to me, but it turned out to just be the power switch on the PSU

My Mobo has a red led power button that glows red whenever I plug it in. Also when I plug my mouse and keyboard(it has LEDs on it) it lights up. So I dunno....CPU fans don't move..nothing. Either my CPU is fked or mobo is fukked. Tried my old shytty dell PSU that I know works and it still didn't get anything started for a nikka...I might have just ate 2 grand brehs :to:

Ah man, I feel ya breh. Computer problems are the worst. If you can't figure the problem out, take it into a computer shop. It's okay to ask for help. $75 is worth the price of your sanity.

is the PSU plugged into the mobo with both the 24pin and 4/8 pin cables?

if you're using a gpu, try taking it out of the equation, and just use integrated graphics

Thanks for the advice breh but I tried all that. Only thing I ain't try is running the Mobo outside the case. I don't really remember looking for standoffs or anything like that. Kind of rushed through the process of installing the mobo to the case.

I don't understand how you could even install the mobo without looking where the standoffs were

could be a short in the case. I think @Orbital-Fetus had an issue like that

very good memory man!
that was yeeeeeaaaaarrrrrs ago...

anyway, yeah...there are some non conductive brass spacers that attach to the screws that connect to the motherboard.
YOU HAVE TO USE THESE otherwise the mobo will make contact with the case and short out.

when i did my first real full build i skipped that part and my shyt would not turn on.

The X1 controller is a nice upgrade from the 360 one. Glad I made that purchase. The thumbsticks are way better. The shoulder buttons could be better, but other than that, I like the controller better than the 360 one

It's weird, when I'm playing my XBO I love the XBO controller, but on my PC I hate it and have to revert back to a 360 controller
