More Information

I've just installed a Tuniq Tower 120 on my E6600/8800GTX/4GBram/500W Asus power supply.
I had to remove motherboard, rebuild stuff etc. Now the system will not boot! I mean all starts spining and stuff bot nothing on the screen. No motherboard beeps either. What is wrong? Is it possible that my 500W Asus could not go with just another aftermarket cooler and it did with the stock one?
* later edit: PROBLEM SOLVED
all I had to do was boot with no ram then put ram back in and it finally did boot.
Thread closed.
