Having computer build problems, it will not start!
Hey there folks. I'm looking for some assistance with my computer build, as I am running into some problems that I just can't seem to fix. My build has:
-ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
-EVGA GeForce GTX 465
-G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
-AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor
-650W Power Supply who's brand I forgot due to it being from my older computer
So, I threw everything in the case, hooked it all up, and got squat. The Green LED light on the Mobo was on, and the fans wiggled a little bit when I hit the power button. That was it. I made sure the CPU was seated correctly, as with its heatsink. Still got a green led on the mobo and wiggling fans. Made sure the memory was seated correctly, same result. Tried one stick of memory at a time, same result. Took the vid card out and tried using the integrated video instead, same result.
I wanted to make sure my mobo wasn't DOA, so I took it out of the case, and made sure it wasn't shorting out or anything. With the mobo on a piece of cardboard with the CPU and memory seated on it, I still get that green light. I'm assuming this is a good sign.
Anyways, I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out what is wrong with my new build. Do I have incompatible memory? Is my PSU not sufficient enough? I'm at my wits end! Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Beyond that, it's probably a DOA board.
