Despite what is shown on the video, most motherboards does not have dedicated "power on" button, yet alone post code display.

It is also possible to connect temporarily power switch cable from your case if you are having problems.

I wanted to build my own PC, and I didn't know about this option, to benchmark the PC before u actually put them together with the case, so I really appreciate it. :3

So I just built a new computer and had tested everything but couldn't install windows. My ram would let me put in an amp profile and everything. Took it to a repair shop and they couldn't figure it out either. Ended up both ram sticks were bad brand new out of the package. All good now but very frustrating!

It posted and I could get into my bios it just would not let windows install. I chose the ram from the list of compatible ram. Just luck of the draw I guess

Hey dude I already got all the likes for the verge

What a perfect coincidence that they had to go through the entire troubleshooting process. I just got my components and I was looking to see how I test them. This was the perfect video to come across.

Thank you much for this video. I haven't built a computer in over 20 years and just about to jump back into those waters. I will definitely bench-test before completely building my system.

You know you are watching a good content creator when you watch the entire 20 minute video fully knowing everything being talked about. I just love watching builds ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks Jay!!

That Phil in the background? His laugh makes these more funny.

About to build my first PC and these are the situations that keep me awake at night! Love the content Jay!

Thanks Jay! That was very informative because I am having issues with my new build as well. I just learned a lot and knowledge is always a good thing! Thanks for sharing your with us!

Wow this was a wealth of info that I did not have before. I plan on building my first computer this year and I will probably watch this multiple times. Thank you!

I wish I saw this before I just did my new build. I also had a bad board, and this was after running back and forth to the store to get new parts and swapping everything out, finally swapping out the board and now my system runs great.

"Nothing happens" ROLF

I know that's an old video, but I had similar issue with an older build about 3 years ago. Same shutdown on power on, but didn't know about the load codes. I expected PSU to be broken, changed it, same issue. Turned out it was motherboard all along. I recently found this channel, around RTX 3080 launch, and I am following it since!

soon to be 3 years old STILL SUPER RELEAVNT had my first dead on arrival board in 9 years of system building had to go find this for my mate who i was building the pc for just to show it happens to all of us eventually . If i have 1 wish its that Jay does an updated video on this so i didnt have to scroll so far.

I love how Phil always laughs in the background XD

I've been in this situation before and the only true frustrating part is not having spare parts to isolate the bad component(s).

Thanks for making this. Last month I assembled, cables managed and all, a new build, and when I pressed the power button... Nothing. Turns out the motherboard was truly DOA. I bench tested the replacement board and everything worked.

Cheers for this one. Showing the trouble shooting procedure is great for me. Thanks again.

Every video has Phil laughing in the background. Epic

DO NOT put the mobo on top of an ESD bag if you're going to turn it on. The ESD protection means that the plastic has to be electrically conductive, so as the electrons are mobile and won't collect anywhere, potentially causing a discharge. That means that the bag could short the mobo.

True, however most times I noticed the conductive layer is sandwiched between two layers of plastic. Still better to be safe though.

Most "ESD" bags that are used for highly sensitive electronics have both functions, namely static dissipation (no static buildup on the surface of the bag) and also faraday cage protection ( prevents any outer charge from zapping the stuff inside).

I’m about to build a new PC, and this is by far the most helpful video I’ve watched, because I just never thought of doing this (guess I’m dumb). Thank you Jay!

Great episode. It is really nice to see this procedure without having to install it in the tower.

I travelled like 200kms to get to another part of my country and get the PC parts for cheap. I returned home, and then built my desktop. Watching this video, makes me feel how lucky I was, that all of the components were working. It's a mid-range built so my Mobo doesn't have any codes, no CPU-less BIOS updates. (plus, I hate why we don't even have those beep codes of the past era) It was a Ryzen built, and Ryzen supported only a few models of RAM. Still I tried my luck and got a G Skill TridentZ (which wasn't on their Qualified Vendor List). Also my brother who was helping me build, received a static shock while touching the GPU. I'm crying thinking how shitty the situation could've been for me.

I love phil’s comments in the background lmaoo

Man, the only tech channel I enjoy is this. The humor is going to cause pain in my stomach due to lots of laughs. Jay is a fantastic skillful guy with fantastic humor.

Finally, someone explains it correctly and to the point. You are my favorite computer informer

Great video on trouble shooting problems with new parts. As you pointed out though most people aren't going to have the extra spare parts laying about to do a fully conclusive set of tests to confirm which part is DOA, i.e. a different set of RAM, CPU and Motherboard. This is the same problem that most people face when their PC suddenly stops working, no extra parts to test with.

Thanks @JayzTwoCents for video, I am first time pc builder and this is very helpful. Just following your video now to do bench test 😀
