standingoff Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I've built two computers before, so this is my third. I put it all together, plugged it in, fans turned on, but no video to the monitor. I tried using an HDMI cable and then a DVI cable (both confirmed working on another machine), but still no video after a few minutes. It also wouldn't turn off when hitting the power button either time (one with each type of cable), I had to do a hard power off. I figure the problem is related to one of two firsts I've had with this build: 1. Modular power supply 2. Case appears to have standoffs built-in I guess you could also say this case has built-in fans, which I haven't been able to get working, but that's a problem I'd rather resolve after this main one. 4 copper standoffs came with the 400R. I did a lot of research online, and everything I found says "the standoffs are built-in." So I trusted this, and built it. Now I'm nervous those standoffs needed to be used somehow, even though the motherboard is totally level and I imagine putting the standoffs in anywhere would make it not level. Can you please confirm this case has built-in standoffs? If so, I plan to then try and do a check if the RAM is bad. Please let me know anything else I might have missed. An extremely poor picture can be found here: https://i.imgur.com/i8IYOR3.jpg. Here's what's plugged into the PSU: -Main mobo connector -CPU connector -2 SATA connectors (one for a DVD drive, one for 2 HDDs) -1 PCI connector (for video card) That stray cable near the bottom of the PSU is something I thought was related to the built-in fans, but have left alone for now. This is also my first real attempt at cable management. I have a lot to learn. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The stand offs are preinstalled for ATX motherboards. Plug a speaker into the motherboard and see if you can hear beeps from POST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
