Take it outside the case and test for a while. Make sure it does work. Is there a CPU fan backplate installed?

The idea has crossed my mind but when you've spent at least a thousand dollars on something, you wouldn't want to do it

Is the CPU fan spinning when starting the board?

http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=709083 It could be the MOBO there are at least 3-5 problems people have asked about.

UPDATE: solved- i tested the RAM one at a time both were ok, then tried both (properly reseating them this time, doh!) and the red DRAM led turned off the POST splashed on screen and the keyboard, mouse and monitor got their signals.

Its either your MOBO or your PSU. I can't find how many watts your system needs Maybe 500 is too low?

Yeh it's a real pain!

 

[THSNOTLEK]

So you said it turned on but turned back off and won't turn back on?

 

[THSNOTLEK]

Also how is the cooling in there is it overheating?

 

[y4nn1c7]

Yeh and that was about an hour ago

 

[y4nn1c7]

Anyone got anything i could try out, that might make it work?

For these problems, you generally want to start from bare bones to get to POST: just the motherboard, the 24 pin power, the 4 pin CPU power, CPU, cooler. No graphics card, no mouse, no keyboard, no monitor, no memory. Just try to get the thing to show signs of life. Make sure you have the motherboard on standoffs and that no screws fell onto it. Also make sure your CPU is properly installed and seated. Check your PSU cables for missing insulation.

Do you have another mobo to test the PSU on?

No I don't, I tested the psu with one of those vids on YouTube and it was working fine, it seems like my 24pin is not getting the signal through from the mobo and I've tried the screwdriver trick to turn it on too
