Im just going to start this off by saying I have not built a computer in about 3yrs so my knowledge is alittle outdated but here goes.

I just built this computer and I cannot seem to get it to post or do anything, I have reset the cmos/bios. I have checked the start switch to make shure it isn't it.
I have also tried using the power switch on the motherboard but it won't work. Whenever I plug in the PSU I can see a orange LED on the motherboard light up but the motherboard won't attempt to boot I also tried to reinstall the processor but it didn't do anything.
Please help! I don't know what to do next besides replacing the motherboard.

I pulled the power supply out of one of my other computers and installed it, the computer booted right up.
So i'm gonna go ahead and swap out the powersupply with one that works.
