Hi folks, just had the above delivered along with a new processor and graphics card - a cheap upgrade for me before I go dualcore in the autumn.

Problem is this - I have put the board in, made all the appropriate connections, and when I plug in the PSU I get a green light on the board (indicating that it is in standy/sleep mode or off). However if I then press the power or reset buttons on the front of the PC, nothing happens... no fans spinning up, no system beeps, nothing. I have tried the cables for the power and reset switches in their sockets both ways round and I can't get the system to boot, but the board is acknowledging it is getting power with that led indicator...

Is it remotely possible that if I did a system reset (remove the battery, reset the CMOS jumper etc) it would power up? Just hitting the power switch should spin the fans surely in any circumstances...

Can anyone provide any advice before I RMA it? :confused:
