Computer Won't Boot Up

[Epinephrine]

Been a while since I built a computer, but have built about 20 in the past.

Here are the specs:

ASROCK Dual-VSTA
E6300
Dual Channel DDR


Antec Smart Power 450 W PS


Here is the issue, when I try to boot up, I get nothing. I have removed everything from the case and tried again.

It sound like it trys to fire, but nothing happens. I have a power supply tester, and all the lights work (from +5v to +3.3V) - HOWEVER, after I try to boot the MB, it doesn't fire, and the PS only reads +5VSB

Can a mother board be defective causing this?? It won't fire up unless I reset the CMOS and try again.

Everything is out of the case and I am getting similar items. I have all the connections correct that I can see..


Any thoughts??

I still had the CD Rom and SATA plugged it...that seems to be the problem with one of those connections...still working on it

Well.........just looking at your specs. I'd say the problem is you don't have a GPU or ram. 😉
