Not sure where this was meant to be,
However I am having problems with my new setup I built a few days ago.

Processor: Core 2 Duo E6300+
Motherboard: Asrock 775 DUAL-VSTA
RAM: 1GB PC3200
GFX: Radeon 9600 128MB AGP (X1900GT ordered today :D)
Next step is 2GB of DDRII, and then a new quality motherboard. I'm 16 and get around £50 a week with my job.

Anyway, I built it a few days ago, and it worked perfectly, multitasking like crazy (I have two 19'' monitors) and so fourth. I decided to install a new 80mm fan, and took the GFX Card out just in case I knocked anything. I accidently pulled out some of the switches to turn it on, re-connected them and so on (I connected them before, and know I've done it correctly). Installed everything again, attempted to turn it on, and no joy. Nothing happened, no LED to say its recieving power or anything.
Ive tested the HDD, RAM, GFX, PSU. Those all seem to be working, however I can't test the motherboard and processor because I don't have another LGA 775 motherboard. I also tested the switches on another computer, and the switches booted it up perfectly.
Also, it seems that whenever I hook it up, and switch the power at the SOCKET on, nothing happens, when I switch it OFF, the fan on the HS on the proccessor starts to spin, but then stops... And before that happened when I was fiddling with the power (Nothing was connected, only the basics such as HDD, HSF Processor and RAM), it booted up and everything, I switched it off, and then tried again, but nothing happened.

I've tried alot, and no joy, anyone have a clue what I can do? I'm completly lost, anyone care to share advice?

Thanks!

ya you psu might be done for. what one are you running? also the hdd and power leds have to be connected the right direction in order to work but it sounds like you power supply is done. and when you get it running again did you ever think of running WCG on it to help beat cancer and aids?

hope you can get it working again.
