When I turn on my computer, the mobo light turns on, but everything seems not to work at all. I had just received these parts two days ago. The front and back fan of the case seems to work. Just the cpu and the graphics card doesn't seem to run at all. Any solutions?

Take out the board and breadboard it, or use a cardboard box. Just the cpu/heatsink, one stick of ram, keyboard, and onboard video. I connect the power supply leads (24 pin and 4-8 pin 12v by the cpu), then touch the case connector pins with a plain screwdriver. Move the screwdriver around the pins until it fires up.

+1 for an external power-on.

Make sure your CPU fan is plugged in to CPU_Fan NOT CHA_Fan. Don't connect the video card yet.

If you're not comfortable jump starting it, at least double check your fan connections and try it first without the video card in it.
