I have setup my new pc and everything seems okay until I try to start the machine. Nothing happens.


My build is as follows:

  • Asus rog z370-i
  • i7 8700
  • Corsair LPX 32GB (2 * 16) DRAM 3000MHz C15 Memory Kit for DDR4 Systems
  • Dell 330W AC Adapter (power brick)
  • Dynamo Mini 160 DC-ATX
  • MSI GTX 1060 AERO ITX 6G OC Graphic Cards

The motherboard leds light up when i plug in the power, but when I try to start the machine nothing happens.

Here's what I've tried:

  1. Reconnecting all the cables, making sure that i hadn't mixed up the pcie 6+2 with the 4+4 pins.
  2. Re-seating the CPU.
  3. Re-seating the RAM and trying various combinations of the RAM including using a single stick. TO check if one of the ram sticks was faulty.
  4. Unplugging the GPU and trying to start the machine without it in case it was a low power problem.

I'm unsure of what to try next at this point. All the parts were purchased brand new.
