Does the motherboard beep? Do any of your fans spin up? Is your system mounted in the case right now? What components are hooked up...all the ones you listed? Are all the connections fron the PSU firmly connected?

Lastly: is the PSU plugged into the wall? Is the PSU switch in the "on" position? Sounds simple I know, but maybe worth a double check.

and i just noticed that my video card has faut ligit i think i cant really see it do u know whta that means is there something wrong with video card or mother bord or i did something?

I'm not sure about the video card.

Try reading the following thread, I needed help with a situation and the procedures I did might also help you. Getting a minimal setup to get going outside the case would be a good start.

Please speak English if that's your native language, I had to read that 3 times...

Are you sure the machine is put together correctly? Have you done this before? Are all the power connectors plugged in? Have you checked for short circuits?

 

[kidcool321]

this is my first time and how do i know if the machine is put together correctly and how do i know if i have a short circuit and were?

O.K.

Don't try to turn anything on again just yet. Don't even pick up any parts, you can fry them just with static electricity.

Now google for a guide to building a computer, or go buy a book on it. Or get someone to help you.

so u think i damaged my parts???

do you have the 6-pin Power adapter plugged in to your video card?

Did you plug in your ATX 12v connector?

-It's the 4-pin connector that has 2 yellow and 2 black wires coming into it. It should plug in next to your processor.

Did you plug in the extra 4-pin to the motherboard connector?

-The PSU you listed has the 20-pin + 4-pin connector...be sure to plug in all 24 pins!

Read your motherboard manual.

Sometimes it's really best to leave computer builds up to the pros...
I'm surprised that you didn't research this at all before building. It's pretty common knowledge that computer parts can be damaged by static electricity...

I remember for my first build I spent a few days googling computer builds etc. while I waited for the parts to come. Then I put it together slowly, grounding myslef to the case like every minute
The whole build took me probably close to 2 hours or more, I can't remember exactly, but it took a long time. But, once I was done...it fired up the first time and has been running like a champ ever since.
Moral of the story:
1. Research
2. Buy parts
3. Research some more
4. Build SLOWLY
5. *Ground yourself often* (Cannot be overstressed)

Easyist way to test for an assembly short is to remove the mb and fire it up on the bench, with just the cpu,ram, and video card in it. Make sure that all of the necessary power connectors are hooked up.

i got it to work thx you guys it was the 12v power supply next to the cpu you guys are god send

 

[kidcool321]

everything looks like it works is thre anything i should worry about? i am kind of conserned about overheating how do i know if that happnes i heard your computer restarts.
