I decided a few weeks ago to upgrade my computer so that it may run a few games that I like on PC (Skyrim, civ v, many others). After installing both a new PSU (EVGA 600B) and graphics card (Sapphire Dual-X R9 280) to my HP Pavillion p6687c, it will not start at all.
Now just so you know, I am not too familiar with the structure of a computer. I followed the installation instructions and watched several tutorials on what plugs in where, all to end up with eagerly attempting to turn on my new and improved computer and failing. I plug it into the wall, flip the on power switch in the back which lights up a green light in the tower, and push the on/off button with no response, not even the fans start up. Did I fry the MOBO? Is it a faulty PSU? I'll test tomorrow to see if my old PSU works, hopefully someone could give me some advice other than that. I probably shouldn't have gotten into buying parts for my computer until I had a full understanding of how it all works... I just really wanted to game heh. If you need more information in order to help me let me know!
