3:15. Those "tiny little cables" messed me up because I didn't have them connected correctly. Went back into the manual and read harder. Found out I needed to switch them around. New build fired up and ran like a champ. Thanks for the help!!!
Spent hours trying to figure this out just to find out this whole time my RAM wasn’t all the way in 🤦🏽♂️
i put my ram all the way in and it still says no signal :(

This comment just saved me a lot time thank you 😂😂
I am relatively new to putting PC’s together, though I’m a quick learner. I had the problem with the Power, reset, LED- & LED+ cable, I hadn’t plugged them in properly. I was afraid I had broken something, gettin quite stressed troubleshooting EVERYTHING I could think of. This video was a literal life saver. Thank you
Saved my life man
Same thing happened to me bro
BIG thanks! Didn’t switch the PSU button on and was contemplating my life decision to invest so much in a PC that I couldn’t build, cannot explain the relief after watching you mention the PSU switch.
I’m literally in your boat right now. I’m contemplating life rn because something went wrong. I’m hoping it was the ram that wasn’t in properly… but I’m praying
Omen 30L; "no parts knowledge or build experience required" until you have to swap out partw or upgrade to deal with it's shortcomings.
I just bought a 5600g Omen 30L Hopefully it will last for me
Doesnt it also have a heating problem too?
@@ibrokemyownheart4953 Mine as never thermal throttled... my highest temps was 82c on cpu 80c on gpu while on high demand gaming... I did however install a Noctua top exhaust fan and it helped 2c-3c cooler.
@@unds85 hey man. I just got my omen 30L yesterday. I left it on at night So It could still be downlosding games and rn when I woke up the PC was working like it was with the fans on and led lights, but the screen was not detecting anything, I tried "turning it off" but nothing would happen after pushing the buttong, I had to unplugged the pc on order to get the image in my tv, did you happen to have the same problem at sime point ?
@@juanpena9789 Sorry Juan.... I did not.
I'm looking into building one in the future so this is actually really helpful 😊
Helped me diagnose my first corrupted ram stick. Thanks for the quality video!
I watched 3 other videos before yours trying to figure out where the disconnect was and you were the first person to suggest that the HDMI was plugged into the motherboard and not where it needs be. Thank you for the fix! 😅
oh man, I was at this stage at one point, I figured out what I needed to do, but seeing this video just reminded me of what to do if it happened again. Also, I'm lovin the jokes Marcus LOL
Good stuff =D
@@PcCentric Yep :)
I’m having issues where it won’t load up games, or will load it up but will freeze on the game menu. Even tho I have updated the drivers etc
@Jcad Try deleting the games then downloading them again, sometimes apps are just slow and need a manual reboot.
Hey man do you know how I could fix no signal on monitor
Love seeing an upload from Marcus
Thanks for the help , I never even new about the little LED signals on the kotherboard that says what’s wrong. I appreciate it thanks again! 😊
Hello PC Centric, I wanted to say thanks for making this video. One of the tips in this video was exactly what I needed to hear to get my PC to start up. I had finally assembled all my parts together to build my first PC. After finally plugging it in, nothing came up on the monitor. While troubleshooting I came across your video. I made the 2nd most common mistake, plugging my HDMI into the wrong port. After I corrected that the bios came on screen. Thanks for the help! You have earned yourself a sub my friend!
Oh man thank you so much! I was all worried that i did something wrong, but i was just using the wrong hdmi port. Really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for making this video mate! Really helped me out, thank you one million times!😁
Completely new to PCs and your video helped me recognize the meaning behind the motherboard lights. I had assumed that they LOOKED important, but looking closely, the CPU light was red! Very interesting. I just made sure all my connections were solid, and it booted back up again. Furthermore, the display was def plugged into the actual motherboard rather than the graphics card, so I just made a quick switch. Would not have guessed those two to be issues without watching your video...thank you!!!
Omfg... my board was flashing red but I didn't really know what it meant lmao
Unplugged everything and left it for the night
power is green hdd is red cpu doesn't have a light
This helped a lot man thank you so much🙏🏾
Really enjoying the videos! Love to see more videos on best CPU/ Graphics cards for video editing. I was looking at a 5600X and a 3060Ti but not sure if the 5600X will have decent render times in Premiere Pro or if I should go for the 5900X but then worried that 3060Ti will be bottleneck with this CPU?
For editing, a 5900x and 3060ti would be great
@@PcCentric Just found and watched your Perfect editing PC build video with this exact spec! 🤦♂️ Thanks for replying! 👍🏻
@@PcCentric is. Ryzen 7 ,5800x good for editing?
@@techinhd3993 yes it is

2:27. Wow. I had literally just completed my first build and was so upset it didn’t boot up. Silly me had it connected to the motherboard and not the GPU. You are a lifesaver!
Same here 😅
finally a video fixing my exact situation. earned my like for sure
thanks so much this solved my issue. i put my RAM in and it would click but still wouldnt turn on -- this is the only video that showed me that the clasps on the top need to lock themselves and i just had to push the RAM in even more. thanks a lot
Legend! For me, it was RAM that had come unseated from its slot. Thank you for recommending checking the motherboard for LED indicators as to the problem--that solved it!
Thank you so much for the help I was about to literally break down
Thank you so much, I just built my first pc but it wasn’t working and this video helped so much. I found out that one of the parts I forgot to plug in completely and an EPS cable wasn’t plugged in.
Thank you so much man you really helped me so much I didn’t realise I had to plug it into the gpu
You saved me. Thank you. I love you. I struggled 3 hours and then 2 minutes and 49 seconds in your video everything was solved. I've subscribed, I've liked, I've saved. And now I have commented. Bless you, your family and your loved ones.
I cant get into the bios because motherboard wont recognize the keyboard
Got my first PC today and couldn't figure out why the display wasn't shoeing... you are the only person to say that the HDMI needs to be plugged into the Graphics card and not the Motherboard and my problem is solved... Thank you so much
I have a problem with my PC when turning on it says no signal but after turning on and of after a while it finds the TV signal what do u think it could be its not the power supply I changed that and still doing it could it be the graphics card. Its plugged in by HDMI or could it be the cable.
@Boonever18 no what do u think it could be
@@kyleday5026 maybe try a different hdmi cable
Did you had an onboard grapchis or CPU with integrated graphics?
@@shadowro9985 I don't have a gpu and have the same problem.
Thank you so much. I was losing my mind. Very helpful. Keep it up.😊
Goated 🙌🏾 Literally saved me from going crazy 🙏🏾
Yo thank you for this video! Great troubleshooting techniques
Thank you for making this. My Alienware Aurora would not turn on and I have brought it to a repair shop nearby, this video helped me understand the why and how. I hate being separated from PC.
Thank you 🙏🏼 I had a ram stick out of socket that prevented the boot AND my peripherals weren’t turning on so I thought my usb connections were broken as well. Amazing that a ram stick prevented graphics from connecting.
This helped big time, thank you. Earned a subscriber and like.
Awesome tips right here! Sometimes the best fix is a simple one.
This helped a lot, thanks! The problem was that by memory card was out a bit.
Hey appreciate this video! I found out by going through your steps I had purchased bad RAM. Replaced the memory sticks and she booted right up!
Thank you for the video! I just got a 4080 Super and didn’t realize there is a difference between PCIe and CPU cables. Took 3 hours to figure that part out 😅
Absolute legend. Man I have been searching the web for days only to get to dead ends. Having all possible issues laid out and going through them one by one help me fix this issue. For me it was the BIOS after I did as you said and unplugged the GPU it turns out that the BOIS needed to be rest. so I put the updated version of the BIOS in a flash drive and rest the BIOS thanks for the video man I really appreciate it.
Great informative job ! I had a GPU and a ram stick go bad.
Thank you so much for the video my dude, found out that my ram died in s middle of a game, to me a full two hours of stress eating before I started doing what you suggested. Great video, good explanation, very helpful. :)
Worked thanks man lol I was getting worried 🍻
I was about to cry after spending all day building my first pc, months of searching for components and It just didn't boot. AND IT WAS THE HDMI ON THE MOTHER, OMG YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY YOU MADE ME
This was so helpful, I've been trying to get my new build to boot for so long and now it is. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the DRAM issue,it has helped me ! thanx a lot
Enormous thank you for explaining the led issue, I had never imagined that looking at it closely would tell me where the problem came from. In case someone has the "red light" issue on BOOT with a blank screen, try plugging a HDMI cable instead of a Display port. For me that was the trick. I don't know why yet, but at least for now I have entered the BIOS.
I heard you weren’t even supposed to use a display cable until you actually go enable it in bios
@@jak2161 : maybe, now that you mention it I think I've been having issues with screens not turning on when they should because of these HDMI/DP things at boot. I never considered looking at the issue through that angle, thanks.
@@skfjhsdjklfhsdjlfhsd Yes of course! That happened to my computer after I turned it on and apparantly it is an issue lol
Thank you for this video! I had just gotten my new pc and was super bummed it wasnt working because I had spent alot on it but this video helped a lot !
All im going to say is i spent hours trying to figure this out & guy walked me through it all & told me what the other 400 youtube videos didn’t (motherboard LED constant red on dram). Great video…thank you.
Thank you, a well earned like. We had plugged the monitor into the mother board, not the graphics card. Saved us a lot of heartache.
I love how you covered so many different trouble shooting tips in this video!! You’ve given me a list of things I can do to try and save my pc 🥲 yesterday I installed a new CPU and SSD into my pc, and the pc would boot up, but nothing would come on the display. We even tried the motherboard hdmi port and nothing. So today we will be testing the different ram ports and individual sticks (something I didn’t realize you could do) and if that doesn’t work, we will be resetting the cmos and bios. My DRAM light is red but will occasionally flash to the CPU light, which tells me the new cpu is fine but maybe the ram is the problem. Fingers crossed, and will update later after we try to do some more trouble shooting! 😁
Did it work
F for our brother 🤝
@@trinitylovesyou6868lmao 💀
hey i know im a year late but i literally have the exact same problem do you know how you fixed that?
Thank you so much, super clear and helpful!!!
What a coincidence seeing this video after having some trouble with my first build 😅 keep up the great content 😁
Did you get it fixed OK?
This video put an end to months of missing my laptop lol. I've actually tested my ram sticks individually multiple times... But it turns out I never tested the slots! One of them wasn't working and keeping my PC from booting, and it was the only one I was testing the sticks individually. Thanks a lot, really
I know it’s a year later but could you Describe your situation a little more
Thank you! This helped enormously!

Tip for newbies, if your PC won’t switch on after tinkering from the manual power button on your tower, there is a good chance you probably unplugged the two wires that connect to the actual button itself.
This just happened to me while replacing some front fans, and I accidentally pulled on the cable when threading through the old cables from the fans and didn’t notice at the time.
Figured it out straight away, but definitely makes your heart race when your PC won’t start up 😂
Any idea why my pc doesn't turn on, but then sometimes turns on for 10 seconds before rebooting over and over?
In my case the motherboard led light is lighong up but nothing is happening,the cpu fan does not start ,and nothing happens the fan of psu too didn't start
No display as well as

@@jacariwalker2484 i tried to sort at home but I was not able to to sort the problem and my system was very old about 12 years
So I ordered new part and currently I am Rocking with those
Same issue here but with new parts for new build.
Thank you so much I lowered my ram speeds and both of my ram sticks are working now you are god sent 👍
Thanks for the guide. In my case, I had to do a CMOS refresh.
I can understand if people who buy pre-built systems can make the mistake of plugging in the monitor into the motherboard displayport/hdmi, but someone who knows enough about computers to build it themselves should know that the cable goes in to the graphicscard.
I’ve seen some tutorials that don’t go over that at all. They just build it and show how to get to the bios. So it could happen but rarely bc like you said, someone who knows how to build a pc should know where to plug it in
Dude your jokes and information delivery are getting better with each video. Keep doing what you're doing man!
Love your energy and knowledge, man! Keep up the good work!
Omg, thank you. I completely overlooked the dedicated header for CPU power.
Had a problem with the computer not booting up at all, or just flashing power until it stopped. If you have the time or need to make your things work, look into how to set up your motherboard as a "test bench", or just the motherboard on top of a box (typically your motherboard box) and slowly adding components and testing them. Anyways, everything came back fine, but screwing the motherboard into the case caused this to happen again. After some more diagnostics, it turns out one of my screws was shorting out the board.
Did your motherboard work properly after you got new screws?
@@alexschwatz1068 yup! Still works today.
@@Claymoresmash literally just happened to me, i removed the mobo from the case and didnt mount it with the screws i was using, it actually started up 👍👍
When it’s a hardware problem, get a Beep Speaker, plug it in, and diagnose which part according to how many beeps you hear. Take your GPU and memory out, leaving the other parts in. If it beeps three times, your CPU and motherboard are good. Next put in one of the RAM sticks, should beep 5 times. Put the other Ram stick, then put the GPU.
What if there are no beeps? Even no beep that usually happens when you boot up your pc :(. My parts are like a year old and I got problems already, F
@@maybealexa5216 nevermind I was a monke, right after this realised I took out the wrong ram, turns out one of them was causing the problem. Checked that first but took out 3 of them and the 1st one again, skipping 4th
What if I get the 2 beeps, but nothing when I put RAM that are good from another computer in..??
New sub. You’re my hero. I just needed to push my ram in all the way.. I was scared
Thank you so so much ❤. The ram trick worked for me 🎉🎉🎉
More follow up videos like these would be greatly appreciated.
Great information here, just completed my fourth build and experienced my first boot failure. I was using the RAM, drives and PSU from the previous build, where they worked well. I have to wait till tomorrow to try these steps, but will update this if I can fix it. EDIT: ok, so it's fixed, here's how I got there. I checked over all connections and fired it up again, the EZ debug showed 26 which was confusing because it isn't a listed code, but the time it took to look that up was long enough to realise it was showing the temperature, had it booted and I just couldn't see? Turns out, yes. Out of curiosity I did the opposite of instructions and took my HDMI out of the GPU and put it in the MB, and suddenly there was my bios. I loaded optimised defaults and restarted, couldn't see again, so I moved the HDMI back to the GPU and it showed up, so that was good, but I still couldn't get past bios, it kept going to a blue page saying my PC needed repairing. I then cleared CMOS, and that fixed it, windows started and it was just a case of dealing with apps that didn't like the hardware change. It still has the occasional issue after a restart that the screen is black at the start of windows, but removing and reinserting the HDMI cable fixes this every time, bad cable maybe?
Why would you not clear the SSD beforehand. It is not recommended as you changed to a very different platform so obviously there would be bugs.
@@yCyanx honestly, because it worked without issue the first two times. Considering it worked this time once CMOS was cleared, I'll probably do it again (so much easier when you don't have to reinstall everything). The HDMI issue was just a bad cable too, so that is unrelated.
Your comment led me in the right direction... the HDMI cable to my monitor wasn't fully connected
Thank you so much, other videos had me replacing the graphics card, checking the ram, buying a new computer, you fixed my issue in 2 min...plug usb into graphic card not motherboard....Thanks again.
this video saved me this weekend!! tyty
You helped me get my pc back up and running. Turns out I had a ram stick go out. You sir are a lifesaver
Start somewhere. It really doesn't matter. You can screw up, over and over. If you don't quit. You will win. I usually start by making sure the outlet is "hot". Helps to have a multimeter and the mother board manual.
THX SO MUCH I WAS ABOUT A DAY THINKING OF TO SOLVE IT AND U HELPED ME ❤❤❤❤
Your videos provided the support I needed to get through the new build pitfalls, Great Job, Thank you.
What is that keyboard on your bench, I need a hot swappable that had DUO Mode connections USB + Wireless. Why are Ryzen 5 3600 running so hot out of the box with ASUS TUF B450M-P2
Not plugging it in the gpu saved me from tearing it apart and my mini heart attack! Thank you so much!!
funny to hear "if you are using graphic card" Pc Centric - 2021
Oh my god. You were the ONLY one on the internet mentioning that MAYBE its not an error itself but just that the ram goes faster than the motherboard. THANKS
Great video! Just seeing the motherboard 1:56 reminded me that I forgot to plug in the 8 pin into the motherboard. I fixed it and viola, I boot to the BIOS! Thanks.
I literally had plugged my display port to my motherboard yesterday and almost panicked as I was a newbie. Saw a forum post and connected to graphics card. So I really vibe with this video!!
Easily done!
Great video! For me I unplugged the tower and then carefully removed the battery from the motherboard. Pressed power a few times to discharge anything residual and waited about 5 minutes. I replaced the battery and it booted up allowing me to look at the core menus including the bios.
After 2-3 hrs of try I got the solution through your video, thanks much! The satisfaction of self troubleshooting is bliss!
Thanks so much pc Centric. I was becoming worried that i would have to buy a new cpu or mobo. But, thanks to this video, I learned that it was just the ram!
My cousins new pc he just built wasnt turning on, and while trying to help him troubleshoot it, i noticed an odd mess of daisy chained cables in the pics he sent and asked him about it. Turns out he had all four case fans connected to the same header. I told him to connect them all to different headers and it booted right up with no problems after that lmao. Just happy it wasnt a more serious issue.
Really reassuring advice for people considering a D.I.Y. build. For me, knowing everything that COULD go wrong gives a lot of confidence when I might have an issue and can gradually develop a diagnosis without having an immediate panic attack. (Snazzy jokes btw 👍)
That's exactly what I was going for!
bro it doesnt matter your gonna end up spending hundreds maybe thousands on repairs. i can replace every fucking part, do every fucking solution and my shit still wont display

What an incredibly timely video - The universe has spoken lol
Earlier today I just completed my first build in over a decade (before RGB was really a thing). Plugged in, PSU switch on.... RAM lit up, but absolutely nothing else... Waited for 30 seconds and then shed a tear. Unplugged.
Then, literally within minutes I got a notification for this video - no joke. Watched it and realised that I hadn't pressed the case power button loooooool - All fixed and we are golden :D
🤦♂️🤣👍
It happens!
Not even my RAM lites up :)

Hey so im having an issue where every light except for the dram which is off is red
And when i turn on the pc the first few minutes are fine and the pc runs pretty well but then at random times after around 10 to 35 minutes of the pc being on(specifically if its a video game like tf2 or fortnite) the screen turns off and the cpu fan goes wild!
What is the issue and how could i fix it?
Great video man… so many hair pulling situations can be solved with a good old fashioned trouble shoot 👏🏻👏🏻
Indeed!
I was sure I wasn't going to learn anything new but decided to watch this video either way. I was aware of everything here except for one thing: I had no idea you can use the Reset CMOS pins while the computer is off! The way I did it was to touch them with the screwdriver while the machine is in BIOS, then watch as it shuts down and restarts with the BIOS settings reset to default. Doing it with the machine off sounds safer, now that I know I'll try that after an upcoming BIOS update. Cheers!
I described exactly what I needed help with thank you I don't know if it will work but ideas are better than nothing
Im 100% newbie. Pieced it all together and was psyched but hit a wall of rgb working, half the system working and no BOOT. So, all put together and shiny, she sat on my desk for months until I decided to troubleshoot and I didnt even know about the cycle lights! Thank you! I literally just didnt have the ram seated all the way!
