All the power cables are connected. When i turn the power on a small blue LED flashes on once for about 1 tenth of a second, then nothing else happens. I just finnished putting the computer together,

im using:

msi gaming 5 motherboard
i5 processor
gtx 780
250gb ssd
dvd rw drive
2x 8gb corsair vengance ram
liquid cooling on the processor

I spent hours today building this thing. I constantly grounded myself. Everything is plugged in. I'm not sure what ivge done wrong :( Can you guys help?

1. Fan cable plugged into MoBo Header ?

2. 8 pin EPS cable plugged in by CPU ?

3. Did you start up and test w/ Intel stock cooler before adding your cooler ?

4. Have you done the "paperclip test" ?

5. What does the diagnostic LED say ?
See page 1-29 of your manual for location.
See page 1-30 for explanation of codes.

Did you plug everything correctly, did you check your motherboard's manual, did you watch any videos about building a computer or do you have any experience of that. If you're not quite good at this things, just live it and get it to costumer support and IT help or something, to make sure everything is correctly adjusted and safely pluged in, how it supposed to be.

2. 8 pin EPS cable plugged in by CPU ?

3. Did you start up and test w/ Intel stock cooler before adding your cooler ?

4. Have you done the "paperclip test" ?

6. Have you pressed the on button ?

And yes I have done that myself :)
