Just built parents a new pc, pretty sure ive connected everything properly, tried different configurations of the power led+/- and power switch the only one that works is the power light, gloes green on the board so there is some life, power button/reset does nothing no bleeps nothing trys to spin cpu is seated correctly.

Using a E5200 and hyper 450w, and a ASUS P5SD2-VM SiS672 Socket 775
 
something shorting the board?

did u check there were no screws or anything under the board when u installed the motherboard?

hmm try just running it with just the mobo plugged in the PSU:D
 
Tried shorting the power switch with a screw driver, CMOS reset, only try one memory module.
 
Ok reseated everything now working so im guessing a short, i now have the following error on boot ( no windows installed ) first boot

reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

i have a maxtor hard drive.

Silly question but have you installed windows yet ;)
 
When booting up you need to get into the bios, should be delete. Then change the boot priority from hdd to dvd drive, save & exit. Your pc should then boot from the windows dvd in drive.
 
done this same error, also getting primary master drive - atapi incompatible now, i only have 1 cd/dvd drive in and one sata drive.
