I have the set up in my sig and connected it all up, switched on the power and getting nothing.

If you put your ear to the PSU you hear a clicking noise, but when I press the power switch there is no life. Anything I am missing?
 
I couldnt see an LED or anything on the mobo to indicate if power was coming from the PSU or not. So I unplugged it, and plugged it into my current rig, as the mobo on this one has a LED. When I turned it on, the LED worked, so I am assuming there is power, and something else is a miss.

Yes, I have plugged in the 24pin cable, and the additional 4 pin one.

I have used another cable to connect the DVD drive, and the hard drive. Another one connects the two fans, and then the PCI cable for the 8800 GTS.
 
I've tried the case switch on the pin header. Nothing. I even went as far as trying it in every damn pin, and both ways round and still nothing.

I unplugged all the wires from the PSU, and plugged it just into the mobo, and not even the fan on the Freezer Pro went round. Completely at a loss, and have almost a grands worth of kit sitting there lifeless!
 
Right.

So far I have unplugged everything from the system, and tried the PSU on my old system, and the LED on the motherboard come on. So this would indicate that the PSU is supplying power.

I have also taken the on/off switch cable and tried it in every pin, both ways round and still nothing.

The only thing I havent tried is checking to see if the on/off switch is connected properly to the cable. As if this isnt, then it would explain why nothing else is coming on when I try turning it on.

If that doesnt work, then going to take it into the local computer shop at the weekend, and get their system builder to have a look at it. Although this is a last resort, as more expense and another week without my system.
