Above are the components for my build only thing I'm waiting on is my RAM so I got impatient and built it seeing if it's all compatible and the first time the fans and front panel LEDs came on but now nothing will...help me please (if any extra info is needed do tell me) not to mention I don't know a good internal cd drive for it so I can install an OS

Hi, RaiChoss, when you had these problems with your computer, did you have memory and operating system installed.

Also what is the make & model of your motherboard.

A computer will basically do nothing if it does not have RAM installed. Also if you built the computer improperly you may have fried some parts. Try it with RAM installed and if still nothing, then I hope to God you have the parts under warranty.

Clear the CMOS by removing power and removing the coin battery on the motherboard. Hold the power button for several seconds, then reinsert the coin battery. Wait for the RAM to come in and THEN try powering it up.

Do you really expect anything to happen with having no RAM installed?

The component list looks okay, for that kind of build it's no big deal to have one stick or two for dual channel, although two would net you a little higher performance.

I didn't expect anything since I didn't have ram but the fans came on that one time and since then they haven't so I got spooked

If you are looking for an explanation as to why it's not powering back on after the first time....I believe the BIOS has a some type of protection in it, that after it noticed that you did not have any type of RAM installed the first time. It kicked in a protection to not power up the motherboard again under those circumstances. Do as voyagerfan99 said and reset CMOS (BIOS) via the battery and WAIT for the RAM before hitting that power button again.

Read his post and he says what you may need to do manually :rolleyes:

your motherboard only supports 1333 memory. You bought 1600 so it may automatically downclock, or you may have to do it manually
