I bought a new case so I can fit my psu and graphics card better. I haven't added the gpu yet, but i did swap out the psu.

I cannot get my computer to display/bootup. I wouldnt have a problem if my mobo actually had a manual. Fortunately, i did find the front panel diagram of the pins.

Power Converter - Corsair cx500m
Case- Rosewill Challenger
Motherboard - (msi) ms 7778. with integrated gpu.

Everything is connected from what I can tell.
From the old case all i had to take over was 2 sata connectors for my hdd and odd, and some screws.
MoBo was first mounted then screwed in.
Ive connected both drives to the psu.
both drives to the mobo.
psu to the mobo 4|4 pin labled cpu(atx cpu) and the 24 pin(atx power).
Case- fans to psu
Case -front panel connected to MoBo
Case- USB 2 to MoBo
Case - Front Audio to MoBo - have HD/ac 97 - i used 97.
Case - the Red Sata connector to MoBo - not entirely sure what its for.

i have a speaker component(1 red 1black wire) that i cant find the place for - no etching, nor pins that looks proper(no manual). should be for beeps.
which came with the new case.

I hope that's in enough detail and didn't leave anything anything out. My apologizes. I felt it should'av been easy.

I've gotten mental fatigue and needed help, thanks.

Hmm, there isn't much out there on that motherboard. And it sounds like you have made a valiant effort.

Only the extra SATA cable concerns me. I've not seen an OEM computer that offers eSATA which is usually what that would be for if it is going to the front panel.

Speaker wires vary from board to board from two to four pin. Does the motherboard have a piezo speaker that looks like this? If so it doesn't need an external speaker.

If all else fails, take the board out of the case and hook it up the powersupply. You might be shorting something out on the bottom of the motherboard on the case.
