Orange light!
Okay, so i've just upgraded my CPU and while doing so, i've also have to install a new motherboard and I also got some more RAM.
Link to thread where I was advised on what to buy:

However, when thinking that i've successfully installed my new CPU, motherboard and RAM I went to try it out. I re-plugged everything back into my computer, turned the computer on and was greeted with a steady orange light on my computers power button and monitor.
I then took the case off to find all the fans working correctly.
I haven't installed the drivers for the new motherboard (came with the board as a CD-ROM), but tried putting that in the CD drive, but this didn't do anything.
Any help to get my computer running again would be hugely appreciated, i've just spent £300 on new parts!
Thanks
