Computer will not start.
Before I strip it down in the morning to go through all the checks, this is what has happened and I am looking for ideas.
I built a computer for my nephew, specs as follows;
Silverstone SuGo2 case,
AsRock 945GCM-S mobo,
Cosair 2 X 1GB pc6400 memory
Core to Duo 6670 CPU,
Asus 4870 graphics card,
Hitachi 500Gb hard drive, Sony DVDRW,
Novatech 550W PSU.
As it is a small case I replaced all the fans 3 X Xigmatec 80mm, and a Zalman CNPS 8700 LED HSF.
I have only just got the Zalman fan and had to take the motherboard out to fit a bracket to retain the HSF, then when I rebuilt it and plugged it in nothing happened.
I have an Antec PSU tester and checked the PSU and that was OK.
Before I replaced the HSF it was running with no problems, and W7 pro was installed and up to date.
It sounds like a duff motherboard but has any one else any ideas.
