check that you pushed it in far enough. Sometimes it can be a bitch and you should may want to use enough force that it feels like you will crack the motherboard.

Tried no sticks, 1 stick, different slots in all possible combinations, still won't boot.

Please g I just wanna play some vidya

Sometimes building a computer can be hard. It helps if you know a little bit about how they work.

Try having your parents buy you a Dell or Gateway next time.

OP, make sure your mobo speaker is plugged in properly. Now take out all ram and boot, if it does not give beep commands your mobo is fucked or is not recieving power.

a better question is why there is a coin wedge into the cooler.

>>52237892
reseat your power connectors on the mobo, the main atx power 24 power seems off a bit on the +4 part

>>52238035
extra heatspreading :^)

Motherboard is probably dead, you killed it anon.

>>52237892
I'm smoker myself, but damn, clean that pc up man.

plus you are an idiot for putting metal in there like that. Yes I mean the 20p piece. Yes, coinage conducts electricity too.

bet you that 20p in your GPU that either the GPU board is shorted or is fried because of said 20p coin...

This guy is right. Your +4 pin connector isn't plugged in all the way.

I'd also personally suggest you clan your shit. Jesus H. Christ in heaven.

Most likely power supply is dead, I've seen this behavior many times, try with another power supply, also is worth trying to remove the video card and try to boot without it...you know...basic PC troubleshooting steps...newfag.

I posted some advice in this thread and I really should have said this instead. This thread isn't why /g/ is a thing. This thread is nothing more than going through basic PC troubleshooting steps for some guy with a fucking disgusting computer. I'm sure that we will see his pics reposted in a /g/ore thread by someone if I don't do so myself.
