Ok, this is odd, and i'm not finding help from anyone else. I'm building a brand new pc, no old parts but my video card. I installed my motherboard and CPU into my case and hook everything up with the PSU, checked all wires twice, and turn on the power supply.

But, normally when you turn on the psu, you would have to press the power button to boot the computer, all of my fans (cpu fan also) turn on as soon as i switch the psu on, but the pc won't boot. I disconnected all my IDE, hard drives click on, but pc still won't boot. Disconnected front panel connectors, still same effect. I cannot find anything that would be wrong, please help asap, thanks.

-Richard

First make your motherboard is not grounding out.Standoffs, screws to long touching case.ect...You should always test your motherboard before you install it.

Heh, what a small solution. I suppose i should have figured that out in the first place. Thank you so much :D (for giving a response other than search because my situation wasn't the same)
