On a piece of cardboard.
Psu+mobo+cpu/hsf.
If it won't power up your down to three parts.
I am completing my first computer build and need help in determining if my mother board is bad. After I was complete, the computer would turn on and immediately shut down. all lights worked, fans worked but shut down.
Right now, I have it stripped down to one stick of RAm , audio wires and power switch wire, as well as 20+4 power cable. It still turns on and immediately shuts off.
Thanks David
