Im hoping its my wires that are wrong and not a dead component...evreything is spinning, HD, CPU, VGA, Fans, but I just dont know....Il pst more pics in a minute...

In the mean time any one want to help me out here:confused:
 
I guess...

My Intial thought was I messed up the wires big time or somthing...

But then this happend the last time too.....arg
 
Well, let's go through the obvious first.

Are both the RAM sticks seated all the way?

Is the vid card seated as well as the CPU?

I don't see the power for the vid card plugged in. It could just be the picture.

Do you get any beeps during POST? Anything on the screen?

In the pic you posted, it looks like there are diagnostic lights in the lower left corner of the mobo. The manual should have explanations as to how to read the lights. They all appear red in the pic. I assume they should be green. There also seems to be another LED up by the RAM, which also is red (yellow?)

Also check the front panel connections. On my old case if I tried to use the firewire connections, it would lock the comp up.
 
I just saw that as I am reading the manual right now. You may want to try putting the RAM in slots 1 and 3 instead of 2 and 4. I know some boards are weird that way.

Also in regards to the LEDS, do they go through there proper dectection sequence?
 
thanks alot bryan:)


Ok so Where should I put the ram?


no beeps....

Uhh the LED'S go straight to RED

vga IS GOOD, cpu is GOOD,
vga has its power connector...


any help is appreaciated...but where should I put my ram?
 
Put it in the yellow slots.

It sounds like its not POST'ing. Is the case speaker hooked up so you can hear the beeps.

What is the card in the slot below the vid card?
 
no thats My wireless Modem Card....

Il go check with the yellow slots and check back :)

Also I check the case speaker.

post back in a minute
 
One other thing to check. Is the 4-pin plug connected and seated all the way? I can't see it in the pic.
