      @julian2000P Nothing at all. No errors or command not found or bash errors. Literally nothing?

          @julian2000P Have you downloaded the correct image? i.e. Not the first one for Pi 0 and 1?

            I'm sorry. You need to be more specific if you want help. I can't drag the information from you. Anyway, good luck. Perhaps someone else with more time and patience will offer assistance.

                          @julian2000P Then that is your problem. A Pi3 requires 5V@2.5A, you need to check the instructions for the Pi before installing stuff. You might just get away with it on a Pi1 but with stuff connected on a 3, no.

                          Did you read this:

                          Point 4 states: If using a Raspberry Pi - make sure you have a sufficient Power Supply / power cable. Many issues are related to having a poor PSU

                              @julian2000P Check here https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#powerReqs. If it still does not boot, you could have a corrupt card or a faulty card. Try another.

                                I finally got a new power supply, but i have still the same problem. I use a sd-card with 8 gb, is that enough?
