First off the power supply is brand new and the only way it turns on is when I hook it up to a tester. The power supply works perfect. I did the bench test and still nothing happens. Every now and then when I push the power button the exhaust fan will start to spin for a split second and even more rare, the heatsink fan will start to spin for a split second. The motherboard is also new and the cpu and heatsink is also new. Ive tryed booting up with only the motherboard and processor (and heatsink) hooked up, still nothing happened. So I guess the only possiblities are a faulty motherboard, CPU, or maybe the RAM stick? Since the cpu and motherboard are new i'm thinking about returning both of them. I would feel much better though if there was a way to figure out which one of these components is bad though. Thanks for the help.
