You have the 4/8pin CPU power plugged into the board right?

Yea, I have both power plugs plugged into the board

Do you have a PSU to borrow from somebody, or another setup to test your PSU? Doing either will figure out if your board or PSU is bad.

Well he is getting a light on the motherboard to come on. Maybe its the supplimental power?

A light just means he's getting some form of voltage, usually 12v. If any of the rails on his PSU is bad it wont turn on regardless. If his board is bad it also wont turn on.

Oh I see. Now I know what rails are too, we're all learning something today

I have to try and find a PSU to use when I get off work

Ok guys, I got it on but it won't stay in with the graphics card installed. I have an EVGA Nvidia GTX 660 2GB card. Any suggestions now?

 

[Jayteescout]

Just take the graphics card out, the motherboard has on board graphics.

I wanna be able to play games though lol. I'm building a gaming PC, kind of defeats the purpose without a graphics card
