Damn lol.. didn't put even one -_- .. brb

Heh, but how were u able to mount the board in the case without them. :haha:

 

[tasteofglory]

well then that would be your problem ya gotta have standoffs or the back side of the board will just ground out

Omg it works now, thank you very much !!!! Didn't know those standoffs were important lol, next time I'll do ^^ !

Might be time to: put in one stick of RAM only, check all power cables on motherboard, make sure video card is seated properly and has its power cables properly plugged in. Also remove all hdd's, and dvd drive. And are you using the speaker so you can hear any beeps during post? You want to just have the bare essentials installed to narrow down what the problem is.

Ok all power cables are connected properly so is the video card, unplugged hdd and dvd drive, used only one stick of ram and yes i use the speaker and i hear no beep at all

Edit: just noticed the fan on the video card is not spinning

Can you take a picture of your motherboard with all connections as you have them and post it?

Try to take one of the motherboard in general, and include a close up of the front panel connectors, like this:

No beeps from PC speaker means board is dead. :sad:

Hi all I'm new here. Heard alot of HC and thought I'd get some help here.

( sorry for my english I'm from QC )

My problem is I think my motherboard just died.. I switched my stuff to a new case and when I wanted to turn my pc on it went off right away..

The yellow light on my motherboard stays on when I connect my pc.. so theres power, the psu is not the problem because it works. When I try to turn on my pc the fans start to turn but stops after one second.. I really don't know what to do :S

My specs : My motherboard is new, not even a week old! AMD Sabertooth 990FX
CPU: Amd phenom II x4 965 BE
RAM: Kingston 8GB ddr3 ( 4x2 )
PSU: OCZ ModXstream-Pro 600W

If you need anything else to know please let me know, thanks guys!!
