Seems Simple...

[TG13]

Well after my first build, I feel rather accomplished. However, once I had finished the build and booted up the machine, I ran into somewhat of an issue. It gave me the direction to press any key, when it seems my USB keyboard wasn't responding. Then I noticed it wasn't even lighting up, and nor was my mouse. So im assuming that its not receiving power or something. I tried multiple usb's (restarting after each attempt), and fiddling with a few wires. Nothing came to avail and nothing had changed. I'm also beginning to believe this may be part of an even larger problem. It seems ussually 5-7 seconds after start up, there are a few lights on the motherboard that shut off. I've also noticed the CPU fan doesn't spin at times (you can see it jerk here and there in what seems like an attempt to spin). So I'm thinking that this is a rather minor issue, and easy to fix. I really cant help but feel a little dumb, with what little experience I have with system building.

Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS4 Rev. 2.0 LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Ultra Durable II Intel
PSU: OCZ GameXStream OCZ600GXSSLI ATX12V 600W

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Try this, and you must remove the motherboard from the case.. I have enough money to last me the rest of my life.....unless I want to buy something.
