Hi Guys,
Started my second build and have come across a problem and I'm hoping some would be kind enough to give me some advice.

It's fully assembled, now I know power is there because before I hit the button on the from of the case the mouse us glowing red. However, when I push the power button every thing lights up and the fans spin, all for approximately 2 seconds then it stops (no cycle) I have a solid green light on the mother board that's stays lit no matter what.

I understand the grounding issue, with the motherboard touching the case, so I removed the motherboard and still the same problem.

My specs are intel core i5 4400, 8gb crucial sports ram and a 750 watt power supply, no graphic cars is installed. ASUS H81M-PLUS motherboard. The motherboard ram and CPU were purchased as bundle.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Chris

Can you reach BIOS? Does it reach the Windows startup screen? Typically when the computer won't reach the BIOS, it means that the CPU or the RAM is either incompatible or defective. If you can reach the bios, than try booting from your windows disk and running startup repair.

I can't reach the bios, I have nothing on screen. it barley boots just enough to know it has power. If it's a compatabilty issue the shop is at fault, as it purchased as a bundle. If you think it's defective I'll contact the store for a replacement.
