Hi, could you please list your full specs, and describe the problem a bit better? Does it just not post, or will it not power on at all?
 
ok this has happened to me about 2 dasy ago.


1. Are the stand offs on, if not your board will short circiut onto your case.

2. Make sure your Powerbutton plugs are in the correct place.

list your mobo also
 
Double check all connections.

Is there any sound/beeps or flashing lights when you try to boot it up?

Those beeps are called POST code. They determine what is wrong with your computer by how many beeps and the duration of each. Some mainboards like mine has a LED screen which shows a number and letter combination.

What comes up on the screen exactly?

If he computer won't turn on, he won't be getting anything on the screen.

I knew if they beep it means something is wrong, but thanks, I learn something new everyday on here :) .
