Here are the parts I assembled:
Antec Earthwatts 650
G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (2 sticks) DDR3 1333
Rosewill Challenger Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower
XFX Radeon HD 6870
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200rpm 3.0gb/s
HP 24X Multi DVD writer
HP 23", 3ms, 300cd/m2, widescreen w/speakers
Intel i5-2500 + Intel mobo
Everything worked fine. System recognized cpu and ram, i was able to load BIOS and install OS. The only thing that wasn't installed yet was the GPU. It was in the pci-e slot but I was hooked up to monitor using only vga instead of dvi. Also, I didn't install its driver yet. After testing out my new computer I made one of the worst decisions of my life and put in HIBERNATE. Ever since then I have not been able to turn it on AT ALL. No lights, no fans, no noise, no nothing.
I tired the following:
Checked all internal connections (especially power and reset buttons)
Reconnected HDD cables
Recconected mobo jumper
Switched PSU off and on
Unplugged PC, depressed power, replugged pc, depressed power
Tried different outlets
NOTHING works. My life has always been crappy but this takes the cake
