I have just built a computer based off of the most recent $1000 marathon build (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-a-pc-overclock-components,2735.html). There are some alterations that I made based on the recent holiday sales and parts that I already have. The parts that are not brand new are the PSU and GPU although they both were working perfectly fine last night. These are the parts that I am currently using:
Motherboard - Asus P7P55D-E LX LGA 1156, Intel P55 chipset
CPU - Intel Core i5-760 Lynnfield 2.8GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80605I5760
CPU Cooler - Stock
RAM - Crucial 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3-1333 Dual-Channel Desktop Memory Kit
GPU - nVidia GTX 280 BFG
Hard Drive - WD Caviar Black 640 GB 640 GB, 7200 RPM, 32 MB Cache SATA 3Gb/s
Case - Antec Three Hundred
PSU - COOLMAX CUG-950B 950W ATX12V v2.3 EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified / CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC and Compatible with Core i3/i5/i7 Power Supply
I have hooked everything up and when turn the power supply on the green LED on the mother board turns on. When I press the power button on the case nothing happens. After looking around the web I decided to bypass the power switch and short the two leads to see if the case's power switch was faulty. This did not produce a different result.
I am currently unsure if one of my components is DOA and needs to be returned or if my power supply has died. I do not consider myself an expert at this but I have built a similar build in the past and it worked without problems so I am fairly confident that I have connected all of the cables properly.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help in this matter.
