I think I've connected everything right..

I'm not gonna go into detail about my specs because I'm so pissed.

I put everything together, plugged everything in. When I turn on the power supply all I get is a blinking green light (that means it's on) from the motherboard. I get no PSU light at all (i thought there should be one wtf?) and nothing else happens.

WTF?

Have you had a look at this page?

Yes I did look at that page but...

I have solved the problem and it's installing XP now!!

I accidently sticked in the XP Home disk =\ but I guess I'll just upgrade later.. With my gaming rig I'm sure I'll be able to do it in a matter of minutes. (I wanted Pro).

My problem was that I had the BLUE USB DATA cable in wrong... LOL I'm so dumb!! I had it shifted over and one of the pins was exposed... *DOH*

All good now and formatting!
THANKS ROB! Once I make sure everything is running right I'll post my specs in the graduates page. If you want to check them out they're probably similiar if not the same as the ones in my first "My First Build" topic a couple weeks ago.

Great! Way to stick with it! And thanks for sharing the details of the problem. This may help someone else.
