Hi there, I'm actually replacing my old cabby and old PSU. So, I assembled my CPU, everything was going fine, infact I assembled successfully but when I turned on the system, continuous 4 beep sound is all I could hear, help me ASAP as I'm getting really annoyed.

For now, I can't even boot my PC then how can I install and do all shits.
I guess I went wrong somewhere so I'm posting a photo of my mobo and tell me if I'm wrong or not.

yup, that's the first thing I did.

Going by the error, I guess it's a PSU error, help me, why this error?

RAM issue in general have 3 beeps, so you can be sure(IMO) it is not a RAM issue. Also please mention the model number of the motherboard that you are using. It is very hard to say what the beep means without the model number, as it varies with every model.

common with newer version of GS600 .. the psu fan rotates depending on PSu load and temperature.

some cabinet fans have molex and tiny 3/4 pin connectors both or comes with with a 3/4 pin to molex converter cable which you can connect directly to the psu without any sort of issues.

BRO.
plz tell us your Mobo model number [exact]
you can just put the same in google and get the user manual
that should have the BIOS beep codes.
try simple things like check with and without ram to see of the number fo beeps change

The PSU should self-pick power.

Generally the 4 beep sound has two meaning
Depending on which of the 2 kind of the beeps are your getting from your Computer:
1) 4 short Beep:
Reason: Timer faliure in RAM.
2) 1 long and 3 Short:
Reason: Memory failure.

I unplugged some of the cables from mobo and replugged them and system started but I'm worried if something's wrong with my new PSU :chinscratch:

I suspect either the ram [ if it's a single module ] or the ram slot ... so try with some differnt ram module and ram slot.
