Hey I recently built a computer from parts I had gotten from frys (the sales guy said it would work without any problems)
Part list:
MSI 970a-g46 motherboard
AMD FX-8350
PNY GTX 750 ti
600w power supply
1tbhard drive
antec gx 500 case
8 gb ram (2x4gb)

Basically after hours of frustration (first build) and finding out that my otherboard doesn't support usb 3.0 and headphone,mic plugs on case not having any hookups to the motherboard. I had gotten it hooked up to the point where it should have at least done something and when I attempted to power it on, a blue light near the cpu flashed then it did nothing. Please help
 
you wanna resit memory sticks and recheck power cables(can you make picture how you connect everything)make sure your have clearance between mothearboard and case.

you wanna remove motherboard from the case and place on cardboard and then power up see it works. it makes easier to troubleshoot.(you wanna use memory sticks in same colored cheme one in blue and other in blue dont mix one blue one black slot)

I did that (I could only get the power switch cable connected since it was long enough) and the motherboard powered on, it beeped and everything seemed to be working. When I put it back in and everything was hooked up it suddenly decided not to work. Any ideas on whats going on?
