I have followed the guide from here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
Where I am now: I am 99% confident that the MOBO 12 pin connector is attached - when I plug in my PSU to the wall, I notice my network LAN light comes on - when I plug in a LAN cord it stays on (yellow). I have ensured my 4x4 CPU power cord is also connected. I have only used 1 ram stick (out of two, and double checked manual to make sure it was the right slot (1st and 3rd closest to CPU)).
Now, when I plug in the computer the CLEAR CMOS does nothing, BUT when I hit the power button on the MOBO or on the case, after I press the CLEAR CMOS button I can see the PSU fan move 1/8 in (it 'tries' to start?).
Push comes to shove, I will be taking all the pieces apart, and 'turning' the MOBO on with just PSU, CPU, +/- ram. The MOBO speaker is plugged in, and I'm getting nothing.
Thanks!
