I just finished building my first PC and it wont start. The green light on the Mobo lights up though. I've been researching all day and haven't found a solution. I also inputted my specs into PCpartpicker.com and the only compatibility issues were the following:
"Some Intel H61 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Ivy Bridge CPUs."
"Xion XON-560 MicroATX Mini Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the Asus H61M-C Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers."

Here are my Specs:

-Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor

-Asus H61M-C Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard

-Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

-Seagate 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive

-EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB ACX Video Card

-Xion XON-560 MicroATX Mini Tower Case

-EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

Also I haven't gotten the graphics card yet. I can also provide pictures if necessary. Thanks in advance.

I made sure I had every thing hooked up right before posting so hopefully I didn't overlook anything. I even took the whole damn thing apart and put it back together again and still nothing.

No there was no movement from the cpu fan, however the psu fan moved very slightly when I pressed the power button on the front panel.

Yes there's a space between the Mobo and case and everything in the build is brand new. Are there any other indicators of a short circuit?

the think is if your follow all suggestions from your motherboard manual how to connect all cables which of course you did. just hook up your motherboard to another previews workingcomputer.
