I took my computer apart and labelled where most connections go back so i wouldnt make a mistake when i reassembled it. After reassembling it it wouldnt start up. What should I do?

take it apart again and take longer putting it back together this time double checking every wire/leed etc!!!

find the cmos jumper and reset cmos if all else fails...

is the fans spinning up?
 
Am dealing with the same problem too. In my case though I am pretty sure I assembled it correctly taking enough time on my hands. In your case as you have said the PC is not starting up is it not booting or you cant even get the power on? My PC is powering up though but just before loading the OS it gives me a message "Lsass.exe object not found" and shuts down.
I tried last known good configuration, safe mode etc but the problem persisted. Just before I reassembled it things were working fine for me. I am at my wits end now trying to find where could I have gone wrong.
 
If you have to label where every connection is isn't a very good sign :P. so go though everything again making sure everything is in the right spot and that everything is plugged in completely

mine is not even powering up. nothing is happening. must have connected up something wrongly, right?
 
1. Make sure you replaced T.I.M When you put it back together
2. Check all power leads, especially CPU power connector.
3. Check that your front case connectors are connected properly.

It's almost impossible to connect a plug into the wrong socket.

More likely, you forgot to plug something back in securely.

Remove and reseat each plug on your motherboard one at a
time, making sure to seat each plug firmly.
 
Check your power button cable, they are colour coded but new motherboards and older cases have different colouring. for example in my system the pwr_switch connection is red, but the cable is blue.
 
To save some time with the power button connectors you can always take a flathead screwdriver and short out the motherboard power pin. If it turns on then you know you messed up connecting them.
 
Have you got the 24 pin power connector and 4/8 pin power connector plugged in. Are you sure you have the case power switch on the power switch headers and not the PWR/LCD headers
