Hi, I recently just bought all the part for my computer. I put it together, but when I turn it on only the fan, the "ON" LED and the other light (not HDD light) turn on.
The equipment in my computer are as follows:
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition "125W Edition" 3.20GHz
Corsair XMS3 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Single-Channel Module
HIS ATI Radeon HD 5570 1024MB GDDR3 SILENT PCI-Express Graphics Card
ASRock M3A770DE AMD 770 (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard
Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache
OcUK Zeus Tower Case - Black (450W PSU)

If anyone help with this problem it would be much appreciated.
 
try one stick of ram at a time, then try different ram slots too.

graphics card power supply plugged in?

cpu heatsink fan cable plugged into the correct CPU-FAN connector on the board.

The CPU fan is working fine. But the graphics card doesn't have a power supply. My main problem is that I'm not getting any visuals on my moniter, and the DVD-RW (through IDE) isn't lighting up and neither is my SATA HDD.

Could my motherboard be dead?
 
you got the monitor cable connected to the right output on the card?

maybe try building it outside of the case, on a cardboard box or something, just use a screwdriver to short the two pins the power switch normally connect too.

the Clear CMOS Jumper (CLRCMOS1) is to the right of the battery, there are two, its the top one.

the middle pin and the left pin should be connected by a silly little plastic thing.

thats the default position.
 
Start small
Only have PSU / MB / CPU / GFX and one stick of ram in see if works if not its something here [ if u havn't done this already ]

AS thr person says above it could be you need an 6 - 8 pin pluged in
What Powersupply have you got

maybe you have a 6pin pci-e lead in there maybe this would help if u have
 
What does it say in the motherboard book about the 8 pin I would look it upbut on my iPod ATM
does it say u can use the 4 pin you have

In which case it will be a cheap and nasty generic one. Still i would still expect some life in the rig.

Why on earth did you buy a single 4GB stick of ram?

Though this motherboard provides 8-pin ATX 12V power connector,
it can still work if you adopt a traditional 4-pin ATX 12V power
supply. To use the 4-pin ATX power supply, please plug your
power supply along with Pin 1 and Pin 5
