So im trying to build this computer and for some reason the PC wont boot/post. I dont hear any beeps at all.

Config:
ECS G31T-M Motherboard
Q9300 CPU
4GB PC 6400 800mhz RAM
DVD-RW
500GB SATA HD

So i tryed building that last night, all the leds/fans go on but no boot or post. I unplug the DVD Drive, reduce the ram to 1 stick- stll doesnt boot. I replace the Power supply, still doesnt boot.

Today i go return the motherboard for a new one and get a Celeron 430 CPU. I try the new motherboard and still doesnt boot or post. I install the Celeron CPU and still nothing. I just unplugged everything and left it on basics and still no beeps. The only thing I can think of doing now is swapping the PSU but I doubt that will fix the problem. ANyone got any idea what the problem could be?

First off, welcome to the Forums!

It sounds like all your power connectors might not be plugged in.

There should be a square 4 pin connector plugged in by the CPU.

Also, make sure you have the 6 pin connector plugged into your Video card.

Double check that all your Power, Reset, HD LED, and Speaker (for MB) are hooked up right - these are all the bare pin post connections.

My guess is it's probably one of these causing your problem.
