Did you connect the 12V ATX (4 pin or 8 pin depending on the board)? I have seen some people forget to do this.

I have run into a few 8pin boards that will not power up with just a 4pin PSU 12V plug from the PSU (this is admittedly not common). You may want to try a 4pin to 8pin adapter if you have one or can get one cheap somewhere.

That's assuming the board is 8pin of course.

thanks blu!
i wanted to get an ib processor and something that can multitask without having to worry about any speed issues in the future as i add things.

is there anyway to add a program that will let me stream sporting events from other areas. my fiance and i are huge saints fans but living in nj is almost impossible to get the games.

That's what I thought it might be. A very common oversight and something I have done myself on my very first build or two.
