Welcome to Anandtech.

Your post makes no sense

You didn't get that backward did you? If there is no power it cannot start up... I will assume you mean the 4 pin power connector which is used in addition to the 24 pin on modern boards...

There are many things it could be - faulty motherboard, faulty power supply etc, but most likely you have made a mistake somewhere. Have you mounted all the components correctly? Check for short circuits and loosely inserted cards. Are you following a build guide of some kind?

He's talking about the 4 pin cpu power connector. That plug has been around since the P4 was introduced.

Anyway, make sure you are plugging in the right 4 pin plug. There should be a specific plug that is labeled for the cpu.
