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!!!
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
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!
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.
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
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!
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
My 15 yr old son had been struggling with the display port not connecting to his desktop for a couple months and I came across your video and boom mama fixed it, with your help of course! Lol
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! 😅
I had that happen years ago when I first built mine in my teenage years. Took me like 20 minutes to remember that there was a second port on the video card
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.
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!
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?
@@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.
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!!!
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
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 👍)
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
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!!
Some other reasons/tips; First, check your motherboard manual. Even if you have more than one ram slots generally you need to plug your rams in motherboard manufacturers order, which means let's say you have one ram stick and 4 slots, your motherboard could push you to use the second or the third slot FIRST and then insert other rams to the other slots for electrical reasons. Second, that behavior also could occur in sata sockets, check your pc's boot without sata connectors plugged in motherboard, and if it boots without them that means you need to plug your sata cables at the other sata socket group first. Third and the nastiest one: PSU! I was compeletely lost because I was very sure that every components connections were okay, and since my CPU has igpu I can check pc boots without integrating dgpu but I already plugged my dgpu's power cable to the PSU but the other end was empty. The PSU refuses to give you energy if it's not connected to the hardware. CORRECTION, PSU refuses to give you energy IF it is not THE CORRECT HARDWARE, and that makes Fourth. If you plug some 8 pin connector to the other 8 pin connector slot which belongs to other label that also won't work. May be it's my ASUS PSU's behavior but it's worth to check if you are about to lose it. By the way, this is my first video, liked the content and subscribed.
you seem to know your way, i just built my pc, turns on fine but it won’t boot just a black screen, i’ve done everything i could checked all the cables and very thing and then i watched this video and the only thing left is to clear the cmos. i have other reasons for thinking my pc won’t boot. i have a 12th gen motherboard and just started using it since i didn’t buy a new cpu until this build, but it’s a 13th gen cpu, so maybe i would need to update the bios settings? i’m not quite sure what to do as my motherboard doesn’t have debug lights for whatever dumb reason:/. i have a i9 13900k raptor lake cpu, msi rtx 3060 ventus, 2 16gb corsair vengeance pro rgb sl ram sticks, and an asus prime series Z690M-Plus 4 motherboard, i’m in need of help😅
@@boosted.stangg detach your RAM's, use one stick at each try and use DIMM_A2 slot. check everytime if anything changes. If no changes when you use each RAM stick seperately then unplug your discrete gpu. Your processor has igpu so you can plug your hdmi or which cable you are using to the motherboard. Don't forget to unplug dgpu's cable from the psu also. If you see it's booting, then it could be wrong psu cable outlet or low psu power.
Double checked all my connections, removed my RAM and put it back in and it WORKED! Thank you! No better feeling than the frustration of a broken PC finally being fixed without having to pay to get it done :D Thank yoooooooou!
Dude, thank you! My HDMI cable was actually plugged into the motherboard and not the graphics card lol. I accidentally unplugged my PC beforehand and thought I busted it, but this video really helped me out. 😁👍
The moment I plugged the HDMI into the graphics card. All of my rage just left. 😂 thank you for the simple troubleshooting. I had no idea why I had the black screen of death
My pc has always randomly had the DRAM light come one. Sometimes it boots up normally, 25% of the time I get a DRAM issue. Its not the RAM. What else could it be...
@@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 ?
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!
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! 😁
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.
Thanks mate. I was wracking my brain to figure out what could be wrong. The PC just stopped working, no beep codes, nothing. Only fans spinning. Then you said "reset the CMOS". And voilà! It works again. Thank you!
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?
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 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 😅
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!!!
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.
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 !
Thank you so much for this video. I forgot to plug in the front panel that controls the physical power switch and thought I destroyed my CPU while adding a new CPU cooler. Started unplugging and replugging everything in and noticed in minutes. A thousand thanks man!
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
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.
@@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 👍👍
8:49 you actually need a CPU with integrated graphics to be able to access the bios and change the riser cable to Gen 3. if your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics then it would be impossible to boot the pc
I got AMD Ryzen 7 5800X up to 4.7GHz, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe SSD, AMD Radeon RX7600XT 16GB with 500W power supply and it randomly shut off and wont turn on could it be that 500W isnt enough?
If I didn't find this video I would have completely taken my PC apart and rebuilt it to have the same situation. PC wouldn't boot with 2 RAM sticks but with just the 1 inserted it booted just fine. Thx a ton
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
It took me and my father more than a year to fix my PC. We tried more than 20 videos and this was the first that mentioned the LED/Power and CMOS issues. We tried both of them and there is was. My old PC that I got for my 15th birthday. I can finally play my old games again. Thank you guys so much and good luck to your channel 🙏
the clear c-mos thing helped me so much thank you so much ive been trying to fix this thing for almost a day now and this is the One thing that helped thank you so much i subed and liked thank you dude
Hey! I have a problem with my computer where the PC would turn on no display but also I can’t turn off the pc I have to turn off power to turn it off. I resetted my CMOS and replaced it but it did not help. What should I do?
Awesome - thank you. Had new build with exactly these problems... power to fans but no power leaving motherboard (and no debug lights / GIGABYTE B650M D3HP). undid all powercables and reinputted, clear CMOS with jumper still no luck. Then took out the DDR and tried one at a time. Suddenly worked for each one single then for both. OS now installed and we have a working first time new build... well, when we get the drivers installed but at least the machine is on and in windows. Keep up the good work.
@@shahzadFaisal-y5o luckily i solved it along time ago and here is what i watched i watched two main problems the first one and the main one that made me close from giving up was pc running but there is nothing on the monitor and then i used another monitor and i saw things on the screen after that i started solving the second problem and it was (i guess) the bios just got crazy and nothing had a mean or anything i could understand i don’t remember but i tried a lot of times and i don’t know how i just made the system boot I updated the bios and thats it that was my problems and how i solved them i hope i gave you a hint or something useful
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.
Thanks so much pc centric. Helped me out so much. Turns out I had mine plugged into the wrong one. Wouldn’t have known unless i watched your video. Keep up the great vids and enjoy your weekend to you sir.
Bro can u send me a pc? I've been trying all of these tips and it didnt work because something is damaged and we cant afford a new one because of bills. I hope you see this bro
BRO U SAVED MY LIfe! i had spent 5 hrs trying to know whats wrong , i even took my ram and checked it on my friends pc . in his computer it was fine but it was not booting on my pc . u really helped with your clear cmos troubleshoot. after doing that it completely worked. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
In 2:50 minutes your video solved my problem. HDMI plugged into the motherboard which has no graphic card... instead of plugged into the GPU. THANK YOU!
The funniest part about this is that I took a picture beforehand of where all the wires go. I still ended up plugging the monitor into the motherboard. Thanks for the help!
commenting for tha algo! the DRAM LED hack helped me debug my bootup issue, I moved countries and my gaming PC was shipped months after I arrived. only got time to set it up a few more months after it arrived...couldn't boot it and left it in the dust...had to use the extensive HDD in it so today got no choice but to make it work...turns out that one of my four RAM sticks were cooked big thanks dude!
BRO YOU SAVED ME WHEN I WAS UNPLUGGING MY SPEAKERS THE CABLE WAS UNPLUGGED AND I PLUGGED IT INTO THE MOTHERBOARD YOU SAVED ME BY TELLING ME YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO PLUG IT INTO THE GRAPHICS CARD THANK YOU MAN I LOVE YOU
I know this video is two years old but hopefully u see this. Ur brilliant and helped me watched the video tried everything one at a time and it happened to be the ram was loose and I would never have thought to check that. Thanks so much hoping my pc can last 10 years doing great so far.
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!
Thanks man. Saved me. Saw a few build videos where they say you can plug those front i/o pins anywhere at the bottom of the mb. Saw they had 2 rows of fineprint saying which plugs go where.
Ok ok ok stop trying everything else and do this if you have am5 and using more than 16 gb ram.... Add 1 stick to 2nd slot and let it run for 5-7 min the orange light will go away and pc will start... Now shut it off and add other ram and again wait for 5-7 min. System will boot now. Cheers

@@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.
More follow up videos like these would be greatly appreciated.
I just got a gaming pc myself and this video actually saved my life more than you could ever imagine u earned urself a new sub man
Wow, I just bought my first gaming PC and thought it was broke, saw this video and fixed it right away! Thank you!!!!
What was your issue?
@@Uraq1 I didn’t plug my dpi and another cable ”can’t remember the name” into the gpu port

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!
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?
Awesome tips right here! Sometimes the best fix is a simple one.
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.
Thanks mate. I was wracking my brain to figure out what could be wrong. The PC just stopped working, no beep codes, nothing. Only fans spinning. Then you said "reset the CMOS". And voilà! It works again.
Thank you!
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

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 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 😅
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!!!
funny to hear "if you are using graphic card" Pc Centric - 2021
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.
Thank you so much for the help I was about to literally break down
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 !
Thank you so much for this video. I forgot to plug in the front panel that controls the physical power switch and thought I destroyed my CPU while adding a new CPU cooler. Started unplugging and replugging everything in and noticed in minutes. A thousand thanks man!
Thank you so much for making this video mate! Really helped me out, thank you one million times!😁
Great video man… so many hair pulling situations can be solved with a good old fashioned trouble shoot 👏🏻👏🏻
Indeed!
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
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 👍👍
Great informative job ! I had a GPU and a ram stick go bad.
Spent days trying to figure this out. IT WAS THE RAM. Thank you sooo much kind sir
8:49 you actually need a CPU with integrated graphics to be able to access the bios and change the riser cable to Gen 3. if your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics then it would be impossible to boot the pc
Nah
I got AMD Ryzen 7 5800X up to 4.7GHz, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe SSD, AMD Radeon RX7600XT 16GB with 500W power supply and it randomly shut off and wont turn on could it be that 500W isnt enough?
Yes, were you running the GPU on default settings, what setting don you have on in bios for RAM?
500w is not nough get 600 or 700
Thank you so much! My computer is working again. You deserve this sub, champ.
If I didn't find this video I would have completely taken my PC apart and rebuilt it to have the same situation. PC wouldn't boot with 2 RAM sticks but with just the 1 inserted it booted just fine. Thx a ton
Same but now how do I enter another ram stick if I want to
so juist tell me how to fix it
@@myers7531 did u fix? MINE starts with 1 ram stick only
@@nisayx yeah same
@@myers7531 i only got 8gb sucks bro. tried so much shit i dont understand
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
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.
First and foremost, I loved what you did there with the bacon 🥓 and pig 🐖 joke. Superb line bro 🤙. Thank you for the trouble shooting video!
Thank you so much, super clear and helpful!!!
It took me and my father more than a year to fix my PC. We tried more than 20 videos and this was the first that mentioned the LED/Power and CMOS issues. We tried both of them and there is was. My old PC that I got for my 15th birthday. I can finally play my old games again. Thank you guys so much and good luck to your channel 🙏
Im at it for a week now
the clear c-mos thing helped me so much thank you so much ive been trying to fix this thing for almost a day now and this is the One thing that helped thank you so much i subed and liked thank you dude
This helped boot my first PC build for my kid. Thanks a million.
After 2-3 hrs of try I got the solution through your video, thanks much! The satisfaction of self troubleshooting is bliss!
Hey! I have a problem with my computer where the PC would turn on no display but also I can’t turn off the pc I have to turn off power to turn it off. I resetted my CMOS and replaced it but it did not help. What should I do?
I have the exact same problem
Bro have you fixed it? Ive the same problem as well
@@VONNATECH-qu6gjanyone
Love your energy and knowledge, man! Keep up the good work!
Awesome - thank you. Had new build with exactly these problems... power to fans but no power leaving motherboard (and no debug lights / GIGABYTE B650M D3HP). undid all powercables and reinputted, clear CMOS with jumper still no luck. Then took out the DDR and tried one at a time. Suddenly worked for each one single then for both. OS now installed and we have a working first time new build... well, when we get the drivers installed but at least the machine is on and in windows. Keep up the good work.
i tried all if this. my pc is running but still no monitor output. mouse is lighting up keyboard was not. i don't know what to do.
Bro did you solved it ? my pc is not running too
@@itsTAIP same issue
Did you get it fixed, guess today's my turn?
@@shahzadFaisal-y5o luckily i solved it along time ago and here is what i watched
i watched two main problems the first one and the main one that made me close from giving up was pc running but there is nothing on the monitor and then i used another monitor and i saw things on the screen after that i started solving the second problem and it was (i guess) the bios just got crazy and nothing had a mean or anything i could understand i don’t remember but i tried a lot of times and i don’t know how i just made the system boot
I updated the bios and thats it
that was my problems and how i solved them i hope i gave you a hint or something useful
@@swen1030 read my other reply i hope you find something useful
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.
Thanks so much pc centric. Helped me out so much. Turns out I had mine plugged into the wrong one. Wouldn’t have known unless i watched your video. Keep up the great vids and enjoy your weekend to you sir.
Wasted an hour of my life before realizing the cable on my monitor wasn’t plugged in completely 🤦♂️
Thanks for saving me that time, same here 💀🫶
0:22 I hope it saves me

The dang light switch controlled my outlets... its fine... lol had me sweating bullets man
Goated 🙌🏾 Literally saved me from going crazy 🙏🏾
Bro can u send me a pc? I've been trying all of these tips and it didnt work because something is damaged and we cant afford a new one because of bills. I hope you see this bro
BRO U SAVED MY LIfe! i had spent 5 hrs trying to know whats wrong , i even took my ram and checked it on my friends pc . in his computer it was fine but it was not booting on my pc . u really helped with your clear cmos troubleshoot. after doing that it completely worked.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hey man! Thank you for this video. Helped me right away the moment I messed up my bios settings. Long live!
In 2:50 minutes your video solved my problem. HDMI plugged into the motherboard which has no graphic card... instead of plugged into the GPU. THANK YOU!
The funniest part about this is that I took a picture beforehand of where all the wires go. I still ended up plugging the monitor into the motherboard. Thanks for the help!
commenting for tha algo! the DRAM LED hack helped me debug my bootup issue, I moved countries and my gaming PC was shipped months after I arrived. only got time to set it up a few more months after it arrived...couldn't boot it and left it in the dust...had to use the extensive HDD in it so today got no choice but to make it work...turns out that one of my four RAM sticks were cooked
big thanks dude!
BRO YOU SAVED ME WHEN I WAS UNPLUGGING MY SPEAKERS THE CABLE WAS UNPLUGGED AND I PLUGGED IT INTO THE MOTHERBOARD YOU SAVED ME BY TELLING ME YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO PLUG IT INTO THE GRAPHICS CARD THANK YOU MAN I LOVE YOU
Thank you so much I appreciate your simple guide, you helped me avoid so much frustration 😅
I spent hours working on the itx pc I built for my mom and didn’t even think of the pcie riser cable; thank you so much.
Thanks for the DRAM issue,it has helped me ! thanx a lot
I know this video is two years old but hopefully u see this. Ur brilliant and helped me watched the video tried everything one at a time and it happened to be the ram was loose and I would never have thought to check that. Thanks so much hoping my pc can last 10 years doing great so far.
Happy to help :)
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!
2:50 you saved my life...i was so god damn sad my pc isnt working but i just plugged in tge cable in the wrong spot...you are a livesaver :)
Thanks man. Saved me. Saw a few build videos where they say you can plug those front i/o pins anywhere at the bottom of the mb. Saw they had 2 rows of fineprint saying which plugs go where.
New sub. You’re my hero. I just needed to push my ram in all the way.. I was scared
Thanks man tou saved me so much time and money
Thank you for the excellent video! The RAM sticks segment was the fix for me.
Brilliant! We had put the DPort into the Motherboard instead of the video card. Problem solved! Thank you!!!
Ok ok ok stop trying everything else and do this if you have am5 and using more than 16 gb ram....
Add 1 stick to 2nd slot and let it run for 5-7 min the orange light will go away and pc will start... Now shut it off and add other ram and again wait for 5-7 min. System will boot now. Cheers
Thank you so much. I was losing my mind. Very helpful. Keep it up.😊
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, I was about to cry because I thought I broke something while cleaning my pc and it was just the little four cables at the bottom, I put them in the wrong order
