Mobo LED light on but system not turning on
I am having a similar problem with my computer
first off its custom built
I have gone through 3 mobos already so im suspecting that i have burnt a 4th mobo if so is there something that i could be doing wrong each time?
I try to make sure that the mobo is spaced properly i dont see any spot where it could be grounding to the case but maybe ive done something wrong with that.
anywho back to the problem at hand:
I have a MSI mainboard P6N SLI
two nVidia geforce 9600 GT mfctd by MSI
A P4 775 3.6 Ghz
4 GB ddr2 ram 667-i think its 667 watever it is its compatible with my mobo i checkd
they are kingston hyper X in case thats important
A prudent way PSU 550 W
When i have everything connected, I hit the power switch and the fans flicker for a half second then it doesnt turn on
So i tried taking it down to the bare bone
I reseated everything including the CPU
I took it down to one Ram stick
connected up one graphics card and made sure to change it back from SLI mode
with this setup I still have the same problem
the fans spin for a split second then stop
