Computer won't power up

[jdstrawn]

Hey everyone,

I am putting together a new build. When I power the system on the fans spin for a couple of seconds and then lose power.

(Corsair TX850W)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jim

The most common cause is not having the 2x2/4x4 connector plugged in...however, it could also be a CPU issue...bad socket, bent pins, CPU fan not plugged in/working.

Embarrassingly enough, that was it! Thanks!!

Glad to hear it's working.
