I have just been making my mum a pc, using a new gfx card (7600GS), new case and psu (sonata2 + antec 450w psu), 1gb ocz platinum ram which works in other computers, and a motherboard + cpu (3200+ venice) which has been lifted from another working pc, i have tried both a 20gb hdd and 60gb hdd and the monitor still remains on standby with an orange light.All fans and lights start etc. I have tried different ram and gfx cards, and no luck, she gets home at 6ish and i would like to surprise her. Thanks in advance

ok, i was going to reseat the cpu when i noticed 2 pins slightly bent, could this be a factor and whats the best way to rectify it, baring in mind they are bent in an "S" bend type way, so i can't see a plausible way to straighten them.
