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!

I'm looking into building one in the future so this is actually really helpful 😊

After hours of beating my head against the wall while trying to boot up my first PC build, I found this lovely video which led me to diagnosing the problem. I had plugged the HDMI cable into the motherboard instead of the GPU... Thanks PC Centric!!!

You are a life saver I built my first pc this month and I could never seem to get it started until I seen your video

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 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 !

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!!!

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!

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?

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

Dude your jokes and information delivery are getting better with each video. Keep doing what you're doing man!

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 😂

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.
