sounds like either the processor isnt on right, or the buttons from ur case arent on in the correct spots

Sounds like a stupid question, but is the power button connected?

What do you mean the fans kick on? Even when the PC is off, they're on? Possibly the switch is plugged in the wrong way? Also what happens to the SMD when you press the power button? When you release it?

The fans shouldn't be on no matter what. Get a not-:censored: power supply.

It's probably the PSU. We've already gotten the point across that something is WRONG with it.

Try a different PSU.

Try a new cpu and new ram. If that doesn't help, then it's your motherboard.

What he said.

Also, recheck your wiring.

the fans can turn on for a little moment when you turn on the PSU
that is normal for some psu's ;)


anyway i think the wiring is the problem


get a screwdriver (flat one) and remove the cables from the on and off switch from the motherboard
then use the screwdriver to connect the 2 pins ;) just for a little moment

this way you can check if it is the wiring or not ;) (and are you 100% sure using the correct pins!?)

No good quality power supply should surge when powering on like that

Maybe for a couple seconds, but they should not stay on. For example: my PSU has a switch on the back that I can push to turn on and off. If I toggle the switch my motherboard should be receiving power but no fans should turn on.
