New Build issue.

Currently building a new PC for my nephew, all parts are brand new apart from the graphics card which I pulled from my machine (working fine)

I power it up and I get nothing, no POST display or anything, not even any error beeps like the memory isn't seated correctly or something, its got me baffled.

Main Specs:

Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA

AMD AM2 Sempron 3800+ Manila Core

1Gb (2X512Mb) Corsair Value Select, DDR2 PC4200 (533)

PNY GeForce 7600GS AGP

Its only a 350W PSU, But I think it should be OK?

I have a 400W I'm going to try later today, but any other suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks, Michael.

I would try reseating everything... when you swtich it on do the fans spin up and stay on? 350w PSU is fine in that system...

Could also try a spare video card that you have lying around, if that doesn't give a post then it's not the video card. Re seating everything is a good idea. As Stelly says, please tell if the fans go on and keep spinning

if re seating and/or another gfx card doesn't fix it, you can try putting the RAM in another system and see if that boots.

Yeah fans etc. are all working fine. Going to pop up there after he's back from school.
