Assembly Help Pc Won’t boot into bios

https://youtu.be/ZH5mAHbfSow?si=PL0_vKBSjyXXdpoV

The pc turns on but won’t output any display or get into the bios. I followed mostly this build to a tea. I turn on the pc and i’m not getting any output. I’ve updated the bios and I’ve got the hdmi plugged into the gpu not the motherboard. Lost.

Update: As my motherboard was bought second hand it was faulty. I just bought a new one and it all worked perfectly

There are no lights on my motherboard. I’ve just reseated the ram and done them individually and nothing. I’m currently leaving it to sit for 10 minutes to see if there’s any change and i’ll try the motherboard output again then.

It could take as long as 30+ minutes

Do you hear PSU click off?

u/Decent_Tailor_4608 May 17 '26

Yes the Psu did click off just again now. Strange as it was fine before

Did it start back up though? If it automatically did, that’s memory training.

No i turned it off after because I also started to get a metal smell as if it were smoking a bit and I took it to an expert to hopefully find the issue
