Hello,
I just recently bought a bundle deal on TigerDirect.com with the following parts
CPU - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9494388&csid=ITD&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock

Motherboard- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3858653&csid=ITD&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock

CPU Cooling Fan- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7151732&csid=ITD&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock

RAM- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8938992&csid=ITD&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock

Now to the issue: I've installed all the parts correctly to the motherboard, and I am receiving power to the gpu since the fans are spinning, my hard drive spins, yet I am not getting video, nor is my processor fan spinning. I can 95% certain I have all cords plugged in the correct spots. What could I be doing wrong? GPU I am using is Radeon 6850 with 650W power supply.

The 8 pin cable powers the CPU and CPU fan, while the other components get power from the 24 pin connector. Graphics card gets also power from the PCIe 6+2 pin connectors. SATA drives from the SATA power cables..

I will be at work today until 7pm EST so I will double check again. But if the GPU is getting power, wouldn't that mean the motherboard is also getting power? Thanks for your response!
