Do you have the standoffs between the case and motherboard?
yea, and there was a lil nub in the middle. i have a 650D corsair case.
i took out all the ram except one chip, now the CPU fan stays on, but the case fans dont turn on, and now the light on the motherboard says "AE"
and the screen goes to the motherboard menu for a split second, than it says this "reboot and select proper boot device"

Seems like one stick of RAM is bad. How are your fans plugged in?
And did you purchase a copy of windows? If not, you'll have to do that. When the mobo screen comes up, press either 'del' for BIOS, or 'F12' for boot menu. Insert the windows disc and choose to boot from DVD drive.

I tried it again with all my ram chips, and same thing, reboot from device, so I don't think it's the ram
My fans r connect together and than Thers a power pin to connect it too power supply

Ok, windows is not preinstalled on your hard drive. You have to do that yourself with a windows disk. When the computer starts, hit F12 repeatedly until a menu comes up. Then choose your DVD drive and it'll start the windows installation. First you gotta get a disk, though.
For the fans, I'd try all of them connected directly to your PSU. If they work, then your fan controller is probably faulty.

The fans worked before when it was turning off and on during my first boot,
Ic ill hit f12, my heart skipped a beat every time I booted it up, I really hope it isn't a hardware problem, if. It is, new egg will refund it or give me a replacement?

Do you have a CD in the drive? Did you see the "press any key to boot from CD" screen?
yea, i ejected my the cd drive and sent it back in with the windows 7 cd, it read it, i can tell because it took time for it to display the same message.
and btw I downloaded windows through the microsoft developers website,
downloaded them as an iso file, and than just clicked and dragged it to a blank DVD cd and burned it on my macbook.
i mean i popped the CD back into my old desktop, it recognizes it as a windows cd, but it says its not compatible, but i think thats because i downloaded the 64 bit version and my old desktop was a 32 bit machine

Hopefully this is your problem. There are 2 ways to burn an ISO. You can burn the contents (To make it bootalbe) or you can burn it as a data disk. (Open the CD and see the ISO there like a flash drive.)
put the CD into a Windows PC. If it comes up with the AutoPlay that has the option to Run setup.exe then you have burned it the correct way. If it comes up with open folder to view files then you need to burn it again to make a bootable CD from your ISO.
ok, thank you so much,
but not my sound card isn't working, windows doesnt recognize the sound card,
and when i tried to install the sound card it said "additional power is needed, make sure all cables are connected"
heres my sound card:

edit: if i don't get it to work by monday, I'm gonna return it rather than replace it.
il upgrade the sound later

actually the audio card is getting recognized,
but its under 'other devices' and its called multimedia audio controller and it has a yellow exclamation mark sign next to it.
and when i try to install the drivers it says "additional power is needed, make sure power is connected correctly"
can anyone help me solve this?

Plug a molex cable from your power supply into there.

i did, its still saying:
"Xonar Essence STX needs additional power supply to work. Please Confirm that you have connected the internal power cable onto the card before you install and use the driver"

Just try to take picture of inside your tower then post it to this thread. So that we can take look at it. Use photobucket.com.

If it fits in the slot and it detects it, it should be fine. Kinda hard to confuse PCIe x1 with anything else. I'd contact Asus, unfortunately, and ask them.
yea, it was one of the first things i did, lol they told me to replace it or get a refund from newegg, and did contact them, i have a choice of either getting it replaced or getting a refund,
im thinking about getting a refund, unless i get this sound card working, and just upgrading my sound card later on.

Only other thing I can think of is try a different 4-pin molex rail, and make sure its in there snug.
