I just built a computer, and the power button led works, but the computer won't turn on and i'm sure everything is hooked up correctly. Can anyone tell me what is wrong.

It is always possible that you have a DOA (Dead on arrival) computer part. If you have more than one stick of memory try booting with one stick at a time. Also, if you have not done so already try turning on without any drives plugged into the motherboard or power supply (hard drives or CD drives)

1. is the monitor hooked up plugged in and turned on?
2. is the hard drive/cdrom/dvdrom connected Slave or Master
3. is the video card hooked up ok
4. check the power source (they are fickle)
5 did you put in too much RAM or the right RAM (os's limit the amount of ram you can use) example windows 98 se limits you to less than 1 gig
6. check the bios set up for start up sequence should goto designated hard drive
7. does it buzz and whirrr and make noise or just a light comes on?
More questions than answers i am afraid

verify your PSU, to run issues in todays techy international (CPU/snap shots enjoying cards) you will choose 500w and above. I had this subject with an previous device with a PSU of 550w i upgraded it with a sparkling PSU (550w additionally) and hello presto each little thing ran easily. by using fact that there are no BSOD's or different errors i might do this function first. otherwise double verify that the jumpers are set appropriate (you likely might have besides :)) Or it must be corrupt reminiscence, acquire memtest and take a glance at it. additionally must be incompatibility between the CPU fsb and the type of reminiscence you're utilising. Is is severe density or low density? wish this permits

You have left the 4 pin power plug off the board, I can see it from here.

could be a variety of reasons, however assuming your hardware is good, make sure all your wires are correct, also if you have bad ram that can sometimes keep your pc from booting.
