RE: Another MOBO question
Short list of things that I'd attempt / verify:
1) Check the rear of your power supply. Most have a voltage switch. Verify this is set correctly (115 volts if you are in North America, 230 in Europe).
2) Make sure you didn't forget to connect the four-wire power connector near the CPU. It is required in addition to the main motherboard power connector.
3) Refer to your manual and locate the CMOS reset jumper. Go ahead and reset the CMOS, and make sure you put the jumper back in the normal operating position. I've had some new boards in past that came with the jumper in reset position...
4) Disconnect all the lights and switches, except for the power button. Remove any additional cards you may have installed. Using onboard video, all you need is CPU and RAM.
Other than that, my main concern would be installation of the CPU chip, if you did that yourself and are doing this for the first time.
