Help

I have been putting my computer together and so far, nothing powers up. My PSU fan doesn't even start. The only thing that happens is the blue light on my mobo turns on and an orange light when I push the power button. Please help me!

If that doesn't work, please list all parts, make and model.

What happens when you do the out of case build?

Did you connect the 24 pin and 4 pin power connectors to the motherboard?

Did you connect the power cable to the video card?

Did you plug is both power connections o the motherboard?

Are you using just one stick of ram? Are you sure it's seated correctly?

What does the mb manual say the orange light means?

did you do as Shadow suggested, connecting the two power connectors to the mb. The main 24 pin and the 4x2
