Hi, I recently assembeled a computer, i bought a motherboard and processor combo from Tigerdirect.com and i got a ASUS Motherboard and an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor. I also got 1 stick of 512 mb, DDR 400 Memmory. I have a brand new cd-rw drive, dvd rom drive, and a brand new maxtore 140 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive. all these items should work with eachother but i find that my computer does not even power on when you press the power button. i replaced the power supply, thinking that may have been the problem, but that didnt help. when the computer is pluged in the one green led on the motherboard does light up.t could someomne please tell me what may be wrong?

Thank You

140 mb????
 
Do the fans turn on? and just nothing comes up on the screen, do you here noise? Try resetting your bio's. I dont know if ti will help but tis something fast and easy if you know how and might help.
 
I wouldn't say I am an expert in computers but either the plugs are not plugged in correctly or you just fried your motherboard. I had that problem a month ago. My motherboard turns on but nothing shows up. I fried mine with human static. I might be wrong but it just sound like the same problem I had
 
TigerDirect seems to be having that problem with boards lately. My buddy got 2 boards from them both were dead.
 
140 Gb, and actualy, it's 160 Gb. and, yes, both power plugs are connected, the 4 pin and the 20 pin. everything is connected, just, nothing happens when you press the power button. i've tried resetting thi bios and i will try again. i hope the board is not just dead.

All I can think of at the moment, is double check your wiring from the case to the m/b, because that is how the power switch works. You need to make sure the wires coming from your power switch are properly connected.
