Its upto you, you could just press the power button? Infact press the power button and see if it starts up out of case.

With it out of the case and with the power switch cable connected, i'm pushing the power button and nothing is happening.
What Stulid said
I hate words care to take pictures at half 10?
1. Have you got the Pwr Switch from the case in the motherboard?
2. Have you got 1 stick of RAM in?
3. Have you got the 24 Pin and 8 Pin in properly?
4. Have you got one Hard Drive plugged in?
5. Have you got a graphics card in with both power connectors in with a monitor hooked up to it?
Their the only things I can think of.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. No, but shouldn't it be able to boot without it?
5. No, as before...

Oh wow..
Just realised something WAS happening when I was pushing the switch. My CPU fan is briefly spinning. But that's it, half a second of spinning and nothing else.

In that case, try putting in 4 and 5, if it still don't work, RMA the board. One thing that it could be is a bent pin on the CPU thats happened whilst changing the CPU Fan, did you do diagonal sides first? Too much pressure on one side of the CPU can put too much pressure on it.

Yes, as I said before, I had suspected the PSU, and have bought a brand new one in the hope this would fix it.

Has the same issue.
Remove cmoz cell. Leave 20mins.
Remove all power to system (ie unplug 3pin), clear cmos.
Hit power button a few times.
Reseat ram and GPU again.
Install all again.
Boot.
Similar issue with a UD5 on purchase.
Was not amused.
Most PSU's should be able to cope with a motherboard, a stick of RAM and a CPU, I mean i5's draw only 80W I think maybe 95.
Have you got some spare thermal compound? Just you might need to check if theres any bent pins but once you've took off the heatsink theres no going back.

GPU potentially required.
It was in the Z68X UD5 that I had the same issue with however yours has onboard vga... If the BIOS defaults to PCI-E rather than onboard or something daft (Gigabyte do have some odd choice defaults in their BIOs) then itll be a required field but should make much of a difference.
Give it a blast.
I think you should try this also. Got some strange hunch in the back of my mind. There are a few moans at Asrock boards restarting when not using a dedicated GPU, there is a newer intel HD driver to try and fix this issue.

Right, will do.
Hopefully will not have to return this board, but if I do it is to OCUK and not Gigabyte, am I right? I only bought it 7 days ago.
