If you followed the instructions in the link that shadowpr provided and it still won't boot, you have a hardware problem. Do you have any spare parts to substitute?

I was reading the BYOPC thread on eBuyer forums and it said that a common mistake people do was
Quote:
P4/P8 connector. This depends on the motherboard. This is where the CPU gets its power from, a commonly overlooked mistake is not to plug the P4 connector in resulting in the computer not booting..
Have you done this mate??

Link to the thread if you want an image of where the connector should go...

Our trouble shooting guide also mentions that.

I assume you have at least two different sticks of ram, and have trie d to get a post screen with each one by itself. Try using one stick in different slots.

After that, you will have to either borrow parts from someone, or bring parts to someone to test.

I would start with the power supply, then the video card, then the motherboard.
