I have a
Athlon XP 2100+
Asus A7V333
2 x 256 pc 2700
52x cdrw
60gb hard drive
GF3 Ti200
Turbolink AND Antec AND Codegen PSU's Tried them all !

The computer won't power on ? tried differn't PSU's, checked to make sure all the connections were tight, reseated all cards, cpu, and ram, checked all jumper settings. Any reason why this won't power on ?
 
Only time I've had this problem is when my CMOS reset jumpers were on the wrong 2 pins.
 
Has it ever powered on before or is a new computer you just built?

Could be the motherboard is shorting out on the case, make sure it's on stands.
 
i just fixed a pc that wasnt workin for a client, and through trial and error found that one RAM module was dead. always start w/ the stupid things first ie: power cable/switch, psu, making sure everythings pushed in, cables, other smaller critical components, etc...
 
Be more specific about how it fails to power on? Do the lights flash at all? Any fans spinning? Completely dead?

Knowing exactly what its doing is very helpful when trying to offer relevant advice.
 
absolutely nothing happens no fans jerking, no light flashes, the only way i know there is some power is when i unplug any of the PSU they give that whining sound of the circuits getting rid of the electricity.
 
Is there a power light on the motherboard itself (pretty sure there is since it is asus), is it on when plugged in and switch is on for the ps. Because if not, and you have switched ps's then its got to be the motherboard, cuz even if its bad ram, cpu or whatever you'd atleast get the power light on the motherboard.
 
Assuming that there is a motherboard light and it's on, it sounds like you need to start removing parts and seeing what happens. Try to power on without the RAM, without the proc. etc and see if you can get power or some beep codes.

If the mobo light is not on, or if none of this gets you some beeps, it sounds like you have a dead mobo.
