    Double check that the CPU is in place properly, that it's fan and/or heat sink is installed properly.

    Most importantly triple check that your RAM;

    A) Is compatible, meets the specifications of the motherboard

    B) Seated properly. Not just that they are secure, also that they are installed with in the 1st slot, not the 3rd, or whatever. Also make sure you do not need to install it in pairs, perhaps you only have one module.

    C) Check for beeps when starting up, they usually mean something. ;)

    Let me know!

    Yes!
    Your Power supply should have two leads (20 pin rectangular & 4pin square)that connects to your MOBO
