First Build, nothing happens on boot

Hi,

I've just made my first PC out of:

Asus P5LD2 VM DH R2.0
Intel E6320
Crucial 1GB (2x512MB) DDR2 PC2-4200C4 Dual Channel Kit(CT2KIT6464AA53E)
Antec NSK6500 Super Midi Tower Case - 430W PSU

I've spent pretty much the whole day building this. When I go to turn it on, apart from the fans spinning, some LED's lighting, nothing happens. No noises, nothing on the screen, nothing.

Desperare for ideas, please help!

Have you connected the 4 pin connector that comes out of the PSU to the motherboard?

Is the Memory properly slotted in?

Try different Ram Slots?

This happened to me once before, i found that i had seated the graphics card incorrectly

Thank you so much! I hadn't connected the 4 pin power connector. Didn't even know such a fine little object existed!

Anywho, now it starts up OK. There is another small problem, but that is another problem for another thread.

Thanks again!
