try turning off the computer, taking out the power cord, and clearing CMOS (refer to manual if you arent sure) Was the computer working before or is this a new build? also post your systems specs if possible.

Get Memtest86 from google and run it at post, (follow its directions). To see if your memory is bad. Can you get into bios?

i think i fried it connecting on power cable to the other so i had 2 inputs for a fan and cennected to much i think my power supply isnt strong enough

(its cool when your computer works but if it doesnt you will just wanna break it
