Haven’t had a chance to open up the case yet.
But from what I can see I have power to some of my USB ports, there is power to the gpu (it lights up) but the fans aren’t spinning.

When I get some time today I am going to test if I can get a display from my motherboard port. If not I’m going to verify the gpu and ram are all seated correctly.
Not sure if there is another psu connector I can hook my gpu to, to see if that’s an issue.

Looking for any other options I may try to alleviate the problem.
Cheers.

It would be a great help if you could post your PC's specs, if you know them. :)

Just to be sure, if you have multiple RAM dimms in the system, when testing try only running with 1 dimm in the first slot.
Also, make sure you attempt a different PCI slot on your motherboard, if your motherboard has any other spares.

Depending on what size your PSU is and how modular it is (if at all), you usually have several sockets for PCI power routing.

Psu may be too weak.

I’ll havta see what I can show for specs when I get home.
Though I can’t get a speccy since I can’t get a display. I tried the motherboard display port and didn’t get anything.

Not sure why my psu would be too weak now. I built it roughly 6 months ago.

This is my psu

Gpu

The psu itself is fine in terms of power draw. , that build draws like 300 watts max.


Try booting with one stick of ram, no GPU and see if it posts.

E; with 2 sticks of ram, I have a signal

E; swapped gpu to different pci lane, and a different connector from psu and I have display.

E; swapped back to original psu connector.

E; swapped back to original pci lane.

Everything back to how it was, and working. Something must have came loose..

Thank you all for your input.

You might want to consider running MemTest86 to properly test the RAM configuration. Just to be safe. :)

Will run it tonight.
Ran speccy and noticed my ram is running at the lowest speeds. Like 10xx or something. How hard is it to turn them up?

Remember the Speccy RAM value readings are divided when you use dual, triple, or quad channel RAM.
As long as the RAM is set to what they're rated at in BIOS you should be fine.
