There is a sticky at the top of these forums with a checklist of things to do if you PC wont post. Following those will fix 90% of the problems. Try that and then post a reply here with your results.

You need to perform EVERY step in the READ before posting about boot problems! sticky at the top of the forum.

It sounds to me like you may not have the front panel wiring connected correctly.

Wow totally just posted another one .. sorry for double post .. when posted this one said didnt go through plus hadnt signed up ..=/

Did you mount the mother board on standoffs or just to the case itself? Sounds like grounding issue. Take the mother board out and try it on a phonebook or a piece of cardboard to rule out a grounding issue.

I had a similar problem on an old box not long ago. Took me a while to figure out the power switch on the box wasn't working. BTW, are you sure the power switch on the PSU is turned on? Most MBs have an on board LED to let you know the PSU is turned on.

This MB doesnt seem to have an LED light, if it does I havent found it. I recently hooked PSU up to another PC and both PSU are working fine. Also the MB is on stand offs. I also pulled it out and tryed to start with just PSU CPU and HSF still I got nodda. Also tryed crossing power switch with screwdrive still nothing.. So eliminated the case and switch and still nothing, if not PSU (and also Had same issu with 2 MB's now) it has to be CPU right?

Assuming this is your motherboard:

On page 7 of the motherboard manual it shows the power LED at the bottom right corner near the front panel connectors. That should be on when the motherboard is properly plugged in.

You plugged in both the 24 and 8 pin power connectors?
You plugged the CPU heatsink fan into the CPU_FAN power connector?

Yes thats the motherboard.. The Power LED mentioned isnt a light though its the plugs for a light on the case im assumming.. if it is for a light dont have a light other then the case to plug into it.. I have the case PWR LED plugs into atm..

Yes.. The 24 and 8 pin and CPU fan all plugged in
