I just put together a second computer for my room and im having some trouble getting it to start up. All the fans spin and the graphics card fan spins and there is no beeping but nothing shows up on screen. I put the ram in also.

Please help me. Ill post pics and will be on this and respond ASAP after you post.
 
Recheck all connections going to the board itself. Did you plug in the four wire 12v feed required for the cpu? That will stall a system right there. If all connections are intact you have simply received a bad board. A bad cpu would generally result in a constant repeated beeing or visual alert onsceen. With the board having power going through to the video card there isn't really anything else to look at.
 
4 wire 12v feed? I COULD POST PICS BECASUE I CAN"T GET IT TO WORK AND AM SO STRESSED OUT. I COULD DO THIS ON AIM IF YOU COULD HELP ME STEP BY STEP WITH MY PICS
 
Umm your hard drive in the first pic seem to be connected.

I've had a similar problem with my old computer. What happend was I replaced the optical drive and cleaned out the dust and removed the memory and when I reinstalled the memory it was doing the samething and in then end my 128mb stick wasnt working only my 64mb stick, so why dont you try moving the memory stick into one of the other slots or even trying a different stick of memory, and maybe connect the HDD
 
ok i just noticed that by the 20 slot powersupply slot it also has an extra 4 slot thing that looks like a little power supply slot. do i need a powersupply that goes in their too??? and the power supply is pretty old and its only 195W should I just buy a new ATX case with a better powersupply and one that has the 20 prong and the 4 prong power supply cables?? IM SOO STRESSED CAN"T FIGURE IT OUT AND JUST WANT TO GET IT TO WORK.

i think your first step sould be calm down. then systematically check each part.
 
there should be a four pin conector coming from the power supply conect that to the four pin port by the cpu you can see the slot in the last picture
 
the four pin thing is the little powersupply looking thing right?? and my powersupply doesn't have a 4 pin connecter.
 
The little square white 4 pin above the 20 pin, 195watts, thats pretty weak. You would be lucky if it would fire it up anyway.

I know I see the 4 pin thing on the motherboard but there isn't a cord like that coming from my powersupply. ITS AN OLD POWER SUPPLY. and now the hard drive or the cd-rom drive won't turn on eather.
