Funster;

I just built a new Computer using an A8N-SLI Board and I had a similiar problem. Besides the green light that went on, the fans were also activated.

What I did wrong was not plugging the PowerSupply into the 4 pin plug on the MOBO. This 4 pin plug is located above and to the left of the CPU.

The other thing to check is that you are using the 24 Pin Power Plug into the Mobo. So make sure that both plugs are attached to your PowerSupply.

Good luck!
