I've just rebuilt my desktop around this new motherboard, but the system won't start up. When I power it on I get DVD drive activity, fan activity, and a light on the motherboard, but no picture and no keyboard and mouse activity. In the past if a build won't start up I've found the problem with the system header panel, but I've reversed what I thought was the positive/negative/ground setup and it still won't work.
Part of the problem is I don't have the manual for the Tower, and the header plugs don't have + or - marked on them. On the three plugs (reset switch, power switch and HDD led) each has a coloured wire and a black wire. Any idea which is positive, negative or ground? what are the conventions on this?
