I was building my system last night, when I had almost everything plugged in except for the RAM and V-card, I tried to power on, but it didn't work. There's totally no reaction when I pressed the power on button. Do I have to have Ram and vcard plugged in in order to get the power on?
I'm using epox 8dra+, antec amg1080 plus,
well there's one thing I'm worrying about which is that probably I cracked the CPU core when I was installing the heatsink...
Any thoughts?
Thanks

try clearing the cmos, my friends computer did the same thing, and we set the jumper to 100mhz fsb, and it booted right up, so we relaxed all memory timings, then it worked fine at the 133bus speed

my k7s5a board would not start up unless i had 350Wminimum psu
