    Does the computer give the S.O.S. error beeps? :blink: . If not, then I guess it could be the power source

    turn off the switch on the power supply, wait a few minutes, turn it back on and try powering it again.

    Make sure you screw all the screws in the motherboard so they will be connected to the backplate. Other try a bios reset.

    with the exception of the CPU/PCI-e thing, it's pretty hard to kill a baord by plugging in something wrong.

    he killed it by placing the bottom of the board against a steel plate(that being what shorted it)

    Merged Post:


    they weren't initiaslly... they were ON TOP of his board forcing it against the case's backplate

    well instead of getting that, i might as well just get a good expensive one. I have to go now but will be on in 30 min or so.. im probably ganna go with a mobo that supports c2d and has 2 pci-e slots... under 100 if possible if not 1 pci-e slot will do.. im getting payed in less then a month, ill get a c2d and mobo all together...
