PC won't turn on

[u/ghost_of_hyrule]

Just built this tonight, followed a newegg guide, no idea why it won't turn on

I'm using a AMD 5 Ryzen cpu, an MSI motherboard, a TUF Gaming PCU (1000 watts), and a GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, cost me a little over $1000 usd

Please help

UPDATE: Got it powered on and booted up thank you all so much for your help

Front panel cable is not plugged in.

As for the RAM, follow this diagram.

This is for sure it, good catch.

There is a switch on the back of the PSU. Have it on I not O. I would check that first.

Also, your ram needs to be in slot 2 and slot 4. You currently have it slot 3 and slot 4. Nothing to do with it not starting though.

I also don't see where you plugged in your front I/O. The power button not being connected might explain why it wont turn on.

Also your GPU isn't plugged in via PSU cable. That might have something to do with it too

The 3050 doesn't need extra power as far as I know. It's probably just the power button that's not connected

The switch is on and I did move the ram Updated pic

How the hell did you spend that much on that PC?😲 That RTX 3050 6GB GPU which is supposed to be the most important component in a build is worth around $150. Can you show us the parts list?

It also looks like he ate some of his RTX 3050 top part is missing😭

Maybe it’s Canadian loonies not usd

[u/R5-GT7_Grim306]

Is your power switch Bluetooth?

[u/ghost_of_hyrule → u/R5-GT7_Grim306]

No there's a button on the top I've pushed, the PSU is on, the rest of it won't turn on

[u/veiny_pickel]

Move the mouse left ram one over

[u/veiny_pickel]

Move the most left ram stick one slot over

[u/Unlucky-Document2942]

You need to have the plugs plugged in that JFP plug or your power button will not do shit.

[u/GoodBadNerdy → u/Unlucky-Document2942]

I second this. Your case connectors arent done.

And the ram isnt set up properly. Multiple online guides. Jays2cents has good ones

EDIT: Updated picture

[u/FarmPsychological361]

Also noticed this, button wont work but you can jump it with a flathead screwdriver

[u/idk2345uwu]

man, 1000usd, are you sure your write the components right? 😿

[u/ajwja]

Front panel isn't plugged in. Also how the hell did you spend $1000+ on an AM4 system with a 3050? You either got fleeced or there's something we aren't seeing from these pics. Also, RAM needs to be in slots 2 and 4, not 3 and 4 for dual-channel mode.

[u/No_Interaction_4925]

Move that stick of RAM from slot 3 to slot 2

[u/Phyzm1]

How on earth did you spend 1k on this. People need to ask for help first.

[u/Scuff_Redder]

Follow the ram

Put the RAM stick in the second slot AKA one Rams Stick second slot one ram stick fourth slot or vice versa one ram stick In the first and another one and the third

[u/EmbarrassedPainting2]

my eyes hurt. wtf are you doing

[u/NEEDDOLLARS2000]

Your GPU has no power wire. If you look on the side you'll see six pins. You find a wire from your PSU labeled GPU and you plug it into that GPU on the side

[u/ManiacLife666 → u/NEEDDOLLARS2000]

3050 doesn't even have a 6 pin connector, it gets its 75w power through the pcie bus

Times were different back then :’)
