New HTPC dead!

[Nevakonaza]

Houston, We Have a Problem.

Built a HTPC with the following specs,

AMD Athlon 5350 2.05GHz Quad Core Processor
Asus AM1I-A AMD AM1 (Socket FS1b) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard
OCZ Solid3 60GB SATA 6Gb/s SSD.
4GB 1600Mhz Zepplin Ram.

Only thing i didn't have was ram,so i borrowed 2x 1gb sticks from another machine and everything was okay so thought i was good...then waiting for my 4GB of ram to come.

Received my ram today,Put it in...switched on and went into Bios,Shows the ram fine.

Started Memtest 86+ as i wanted to make sure the ram i bought was good.
Went downstairs for like 30 mins,come back up and the computer was off.
I thought wtf,why is it off!

Tried switching it back on,nothing..removed and re-inserted ram..nothing,took out cmos and re-tried..nothing?

The little LED on the motherboard is on,So it is receiving power..but so far everything ive tried,even removing the ram and seeing if it will come on..nope.

Didn't you try the 2x 1gb RAM again to make sure you didn't receive faulty RAM?

I tried it without the ram to see if it would simply spin the fan..nothing,Its as if the PSU isnt switching it on anymore..even though i can see the green light light up on the board.

As for the 4gb ram,it was working..i booted to bios,ran memtest and all was looking good..but like i said when i come back from downstairs it was switched off...now it wont ever come back on.

Il try putting in the 2x1gb sticks again,but i doubt it will do anything.

EDIT - Tried the other ram,Nope nothing..system is dead.

Okay tried the 4GB stick in another machine with memtest,Passed 5 tests with no issues at all..so defiantly nothing wrong with the ram.

Sound be a PSU or board problem.
