I have a;

ECS NFORCE6M-A
@-Power 430 watt PSU
ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO PCIe
AMD Athalon 64x2 4800+
Thermaltake TR2-R1 CPU Fan
2GB DDR2 5300 RAM
Case is the Super Bien by Dynapowerusa.

The problem is I can't get this motherboard to power up at all. I've double checked everything. I've jumped the power supply to see if it works, it does. EVERYTHING IS BRAND NEW. I'm running a CDRW drive and DVD-ROM drive on the IDE Channel and then running a sata hd drive through the sata ports.

Any Suggestions?
 
make sure your heatsink is on very tight should be no movement other than that im not sure, maybe a busted mobo?
 
I checked to make sure the heatsink was on tight, there is no movement. I was doing some research last night on issues like I'm having, When I push on the power supply connector on the board the 24pin plug, it makes a high pitch squealing noise like it wants to start.

I've also read that with my graphics card, Vision Tek and Other places recommend certifed psu's and aleast 350 psu for that card. Is 430 too small then considering what I am running?
 
the video card doesn't require the extra power plug that alot of them do. I just have this feeling that my psu is too small, because like I said after doing research this card seems like it needs some juice.

Would it be that since the chipset is nvidia and I'm running ati card there is a conflict? Is that a no no?

This is my first build however, I've done memory upgrades and stuff like this before with no issue.

If I'm right, the card needs at least 350watts, the processor 65 watts which is just about 415 and the max load on the psu is 430.
 
You sure you have the board mounted right with all the standoffs in the right places and not one where there is no hole and do you have the case PWR/SW- RESET/SW-HD/LCD- pins pluged in right. Plus are you sure you pluged in the 4 pin CPU power connector.

All of those are plugged in right. I followed the motherboard manual. I've tired different configurations on this switches to see if Possible I got them wrong.

Thanks for the help, I'm going to take the case and everything back to the computer store i bought it from. See what they say and Hopefully we get some power.

Thanks Again for the help!:D
