    Hi guys,

    I recently assembled the following build:
    http://www.komplett.ie/k/shoplist.aspx?mode=receive&si=598204&su=89AED446-7C71-4F63-925F-6310B4B25619

    It's all together but will not boot, i.e. gives me nothing on screen i've tried 2 different screens in the gfx and mb slots, ive tried taking out the gfx and seeing no luck

    ive disconencted dvd/hdd no luck, ive removed NIC no luck

    the fans are working, the cd drive is opening, the cpu fan is working, the HDD is making noise

    the lights at front are showing, power buttong owrkin

    hearing no beep from startup though speaker is plugged in, and holding down powerbutton does not turn off have to manuually cut power

    Interesting choice of components. Why did you get a 100mbs NIC when the mb has a gigabit ethernet adaptor? Have your tried clearing the CMOS?

    Have you tried getting the minimum configuration to boot... just motherboard, cpu and memory?

    If that doesn't work, you know it must be one of those components.

    Try just one memory stick and moving trying that stick in each slot in turn. Do that with both sticks and you've ruled out memory. You're then down to processort and MB. Do you have another system you can test them in?
