    Some cards do not seat well, so double check any pci, and agp cards to make sure. Also while you have case open make sure that all cables are snugly plugged in. Also dont forget to check your ram that it is seated well.
    What happens when you try to boot? Does the power supply fan run?, does the cpu fan run?
    Just calm down and check every thing out and post again.
    Could be as simple as power cord not plugged in good. :)

    In most computers there are some power cables that are not used.
    You need to make sure that your hard drive has a power cable and IDE cable hooked to it.

    just checked, yeah theres power cables hooked up to the CD Drive, CD Burner, HHD and floppy drive, and i did not touch the jumpers, and no fans or nothing turns on, the only light that is on the whole time is some green light on the motherboard, oh and the yellow light on the NIC card for my cable

    you don't happen to have a pentium 4 or a amd 64 do you? if so then that 4 square plug needs to be plugged in. with the p4 it will not run with the 64 i think it will but yea...

    If you have a pentium 4 motherboard you have to have a power cord with a square plug attached to MB as well as the regular conection.
    Sorry i cant help, hopefully someone will help soon. It would be helpfull if you told your system specs.

    sorry didnt see your post ,had same idea though!!!
