really guys this is my sons present i need so much help.. i would really apreciate it!
 
is it posting ? making any beeps?

is the system kicking up just not seeing anything on the screen ?

have you tried the ram in different slots ?

theres numerous things that it could be

have you fitted the board correctly ie:not touching the side plate.

if your having all these problems what i would do personally is take the board out of the case take everything off apart from the cpu/ram/gfx and try it out of the case on top of the motherboard box you just got see if it kicks up if it dosent then try another gfx card or ram then if the problem still persists i would more than likely say the motherboard but you need to try that first.

another thing is the ram compatable i had a problem once with that
 
:) forget last comment reference ram it will be its geil ram

the power supply is big enough to boot the machine no problem not huge but big enough
 
so ** sayin the giel ram is compaible... and i will try a different graphics card tomorrow yes... if that dont work then what would be wrong with the motherboard?
 
well as long as its trying to boot then reset cmos take out battery turn it over and re insert it leave for about 5 mins then put back as they where and retry if still same problem then i would more than likely say the motherboard aslong as youve got all the connections in the right place
 
well i dont know because theres no display.. iasked every one on here what spec to buy.. i bought that spec and it dont work :( and i feel like i want to cry.. anyway that you think OC will refund my purchace to buy a ready mad computer??

No, of course they won't.

You can't just throw everything together and give up if it doesn't work first time. Take a break from it and read through the forums. I have seen numerous similar threads so why don't you search and try what has been suggested.
 
so what u tried ?
everything i told you to try ?
have you taken the board out of the case put it onto your motherboard box and reconnect it just with cpu ram and gfx ?
have you reset the bios?
have you taken the battery out turn it over put it back in and leave it 5 mins then put the jumpers back to normal on the cmos and put the battery back in as normal ?
have you tried the ram in different slots ?
have you tried just 1 stick of ram then if nothing try the other ?
a different gfx card?
different cpu if poss ?
you have put the 4 pin power to the motherboard aswell as the 20 pin 1 ?
you have put the 6 pin power supply to the gfx card i presume its pcie ?
you need to try all these things then if still not working then you would then know what the problem is .
