build from source

Building from source is the process of compiling a program from it's source code. Most commonly done on GNU/Linux systems, rarely Windows or Mac.

Compilation is the process of building an application into an executable from it's code. Depending on the program, it can take hours to compile a complex application.

Since there isn't any packages available, you have to build from source.

paperclip test

A way of testing if either your motherboard or a component or your PSU works or not.
1) Bend a paper clip into a straight "U" shape
2) Find the 20/24 pin cable, it is normally the largest plug for the motherboard.
3) Find the green pin and black pin (pins 15 & 16) Green pin is normally 15 and black is 16.
4) Plug the "U"-shaped paperclip into both the 15 and 16 pins, so that it arches between the two.
5) Place the 20/24 pin cable in a place where it cannot be disturbed or shocked.
6) Plug in your PSU and turn it on.
If the fan spins, the PSU works as far as turning on. This is to cancel out the PSU as being bad.

Try the paperclip test before RMA'ing it to make sure it's not your motherboard causing the power issue.
