So my brothers pc parts came and he told me he knew what he was doing so I let him have a go with it, when he tries to boot it up the fans and lights turn on for like 1 second and then just go dark again
His motherboard is the z97 gaming (3 I think)
If you need anymore info just comment.

Make sure the RAM is installed correctly and that all the Front Panel Connectors (FPC) are in the correct positions.

Also check for any loose connections.

Can you list his components? Make sure everything is plugged in correctly.

Check to make sure everything is plugged in, and correctly. If you can't see any problems, take it all apart and build outside the case with only the necessary components.

CPU, mobo, PSU, RAM and of course, you'll need to put the CPU cooler on. Check if it boots, if it does, add the GPU and boot with the GPU to make sure the GPU is not the issue. Then build inside the case and add HDD and SSD making sure everything is plugged in, and done so correctly.
