Huge problem.

Motherboard: ASUS A8N-E
Processor: FX-57, Socket 939

I've been running my motherboard with a system external bus of 285 for quite some time and I backed off to the default 200 for today. Got a blue screen while I was gaming. Turned the computer off. It won't turn on: fans won't even spin. The ethernet light won't even light up. Power button IS connected and CMOS was cleared several times. I've let the computer sit with no power for a couple of minutes to no avail...

Please help..
Anything would be greatly appreciated.

I let the computer sit for a couple of hours without power.
Before starting it up, I reseated the 24-pin lead like you recommended.

and it worked!

Thank you, very much.

main lead not being seated properly is the number 1 cause of seemingly dead computers......
