    The hard part is if something doesn’t work. For whatever reason. Putting things together is easy, if it all works, nice, done. That’s how all my builds went, so I don’t actually know shit about troubleshooting. My friend build his first pc and nothing worked. I checked if it’s all plugged in, nothing. He changed all the parts and at the end he had two faulty ram.

      I have yet to build a computer that didn’t POST on first boot, with one minor exception: My cousin’s Ryzen 5600 machine. I built that in a Fractal Meshify 2 Mini, which has a front IO reset button, and I wired the Reset and the Power buttons backwards. I pushed the power button, nothing. I pushed the Reset button, it booted to the BIOS setup.

      I THOUGHT I had a problem with my uncle’s computer; but no, the monitor I was testing with chose to die during first POST. That monitor is behind three different trees now.
