Also, un plug everything you don't need, so disconnect hard drives, usb headers & cd roms, if you have the original Intel cpu cooler use that also. If you can, also remove it from the case, just incase you have a short.

Ive removed everything, i havent removed the motherboard yet... might be tomorrow's job if i cant get it working now.
 
actually you could just remove the front panel connectors and then turn the PSU on. if it stays off then odds are the panel connectors are wrong
 
do this, unplug you panel switch wire, bat the one marked power, and see if it turns on.

Also remove the board, you may have a post that's touching the board base, I notice 1 fixing hole, does not have a screw.

I have removed all the front panel plugs and still doesnt load. Yes your right there is one screw hole without anything in as there isnt a whole for it on the case. would this affect the computer booting? There is already 6 screws holding it in.
 
No missing screws are fine, I was saying, as sometimes people put posts in the wrong positions, and forget. A touching post would cause this. Im just getting your manual, but does the board support only 1 ram stick ?
 
"I have removed all the front panel plugs and still doesnt load. " still the same or any different?

as for the screws it shouldnt matter but grounding can be weird

No same thing, loads for about 2 secs then off, i have just done the paperclip test on the PSU and it works so thats no faulty. And i have checked and double checked the front panels
 
ok, a really stupid question, did you remove the plastic paper from the cpu cooler, before installing it. Sorry if it seams a bad question, but I have seem that mistake a few times with AMD chips.
 
try a long cmos clear,remove motherboard battery for 10 minutes then try

anyway you can test with another psu? if its still doing it id check the cpu socket for any bent pins (take care not to damage anything when looking) take pics if need be
 
ive seen compatibility issues with gskill and gigabyte in the past,might work ok on latest bios if/when you get chance to update it
