Sam,

Out of curiosity... ( so far sounds like you know what you are doing ) did you install the motherboard on the little peg risers ? They install on the case first, then the motherboard sits on them and gets screwed into them.
Sounds silly, but if the mb is mounted direct to the case all the solder points on the back of the board will become one.


edit: also make sure you check all the power to the motherboard and double check all power cables are connected. Probably so as it started already, but make sure and check the power supply to the mb and give a push on the connections to make sure they have good contact.



The best way to troubleshoot is to check the simple most obvious points, then work deeper into the problem.
Start with all connections, power switches/ buttons turned on, good contact at all points, run down each individual part of the computer to give an ok check.

Tiki, I got some standoffs with the casing and I installed the mobo on that. The connections seem to be ok, as far as I can see.

In regards to starting with the obvious, you ARE right. That's what I'll exactly do. Thanks.

I haven't been able to spend much time on it yet. I will try tonight, hopefully, as I have been slacking on my charts. I'm hoping it's all done and over with by the coming week.

How Computers Work - Journey Into The Walk-Through Computer

Ok, this video is like 20+ years old. It is done in a fun youth format .
I started it at about 6:30 into the video with this link, just click and it will be cued, so there are about 20 minutes remaining to watch.
Not kidding for anyone who lacks an understanding of just how a computer works and how it all comes together watch this.

The actors will become, and be part of the inside of a working computer.
Laugh away , it's a cute video but the info is still valuable and no different really today.
Enjoy, chuckle, and walk away with a little more knowledge.

If this is intended for me, yes it has worked and continues to work great.
Take your time and go back to the beginning and have a look around. It was a lot of fun to assemble and a large amount of computer info has been posted throughout.

Enjoy !
