I tried to boot my computer for the first time, everything was working but the CPU cooler which wasn't spinning. I have tried to reset the CMOS (not sure if I did it right) but that hasn't fixed anything. The LED's on the Phase indicator all light up (I'm pretty sure that that is bad) and the monitor stays with the orange light, not the steady green one.

My computer specs:
Case: Antec 902 Gaming Case
PSU: Antec Earthwatts 650Watts
Motherboard:Gigabyte S775 GA-EP45-UD3R Core 2 Motherboard
CPU: Intel S775 Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz CPU
RAM: DDR2 4GB Corsair Dominator 1066MHz RAM Kit
Graphics card: Gigabyte GTX 260 OC 896M PCIe Video Card GTX260
Hard Drive(s): 1TB Western Digital EADS 7200rpm 32M SATA HDD
Optical Drive(s): Samsung 22x DVD Writer SATA Black

Thanks.

I fixed the problem.. turned out I hadn't plugged in the 8-pin power cord to the mobo =)
I turned the computer on and the first (and only) screen it showed was: Verifying DMI Pool Data ........... Update Success
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
That's ok, right?

Yep, I think that's right.
