Hi, I bought a few parts the other day and I'm having trouble booting. When I turn on the power supply, the keyboard lights flashes once and when I turn the power on, the led for the power comes on and then nothing, no beeps/fans/HDLED, even after a minute.
Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA LGA775 Conroe
Intel Core2Duo E6400
EVGA Geforce 7600 GTKO 256MB
Mushkin PC2-5300 DDR2-667 1x1GB
Seagate Barracuda 320GB SATA2
Liteon DVDRW
Benq DVDRW
Fortron Sparkle 400W PS
I plugged in power supply to the ATX and the ATX12V, CPU fan into CPU fan connector, memory into DDR2 slot 1, hard drive into sata1 and powersupply, dvdrwers to secondary IDE, video card to PCIe, front USB to USB67, front speaker to speaker, front audio to HD_AUDIO1, and the panel1 with white wire being ground and nothing on dummy pin
Yep, and its not doing anything after I press the power
I hope its not a hardware problem...I'm new at this, so any any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Do not listen to anyone saying they know it's a bad whatever.
You have to troubleshoot this to figure it out.
Start by stripping the system down to just motherboard, processor, and power supply and power switch. (do not skip steps, strip everything including data cables and power leads to everything except the power lead going to the motherboard itself).
Turn it on, if you do not hear any beeps, you have just narrowed it down to motherboard or processor (maybe psu but highly unlikely). If you DO hear memory beeps then you're pretty much safe in assuming your three core components are ok. So add the memory. You should still hear beeps, but ones for the video card. If not then you either have bad memory or a bad slot on the board. You may be able to rule out the slot, I'm not sure how your motherboard works in that respect though. If you video beeps instead then your memory is fine. Add the video card. You should now have no beeps. If you do then your video card is probably bad (or possbly the slot on the board once again). If you have video at this point then add one thing at a time to find out what is causing the problem.

Power supply problems can cause random errors like system freezeing which are difficult to identify.A power supply problem could also damage the motherboard and the CPU . You can try to fix some of the problems yourself by following the instructions at

I have just had a similar problem, IF YOU HAVE an onboard graphics card then unplug your new one and try that, IF YOU DONT then try reverting back to your complete old setup and putting the parts in and booting your computer untill your find the incompatible part.

First thing to do before you tear your hair out is check the power supply. It may be bad.
If you don't know how to, take out the PSU and have a computer store check it for you.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
