Well it's 2 am and i; tired but can't go to leep until my pc does something special like play solitary or something, i have no case and i don't know if i need one, the only thing that turns green is the mobo but my screen is black and nothing moves not even the fan for my processor and when i click on the eject button for the dvd drive nothing happens *sigh*
I think i connected the psu incorrectly to the mobo.



Thanks for the help {H}
 
The plugs you circled look are the 12v plug and the fan ones. That looks right to me.

The ones with the question marks also look like fan plugs but your going to have to check the manual to be sure
 
Dont get too discouraged. Get some sleep and start fresh. It is possible that it is something simple like the front plugs on your case needing to be plugged in, since there is no on/off switch on the mobo:)
 
Yeah i was thinking that it has power So i read the manual and the green light meants that it's in sleep mode or stand by mode but how do i turn the mobo on with out a switch?
And my psu only has one of those 12v things but i guess that's normal
well i fell a sleep the night was a failure i feel kinda sad but when i get back from school i'll give it all i got, hopefully it will boot up and i will be able to play lego star wars :D ... while i'm writing this i feel better guess my only problem right now is the switch and finding where to plug the 12v thing and modest mouse rocks :D



Already have the 24 pin and the atx 12v 4 pin, and the one that i don't know where to plug in is the 3 pin one a little blue wire http://www.newegg.com/Product/Showi...+2.0+SP-450+ATX12V+450W+Power+Supply+-+Retail

Maybe the cha1 or cha2_fan or maybe the pwr_fan, or maybe the blue wire is useless to me hmm... Thanks guys and gals
 
You have to take a flat head screwdriver or something like it and short the pins where the switch from the case will connect(should be listed in your manual) and that should kick it to life. Also those three pin things you have circled are fan headers
 
cool guess i don't need the blue wire.
About turning the mobo on like that sounds dangerous, gonna move this case i'm using right now and just use the jumpers and if it boots well i'll use the whole case for now
 
Well after 3 and half hours from removing the parts from my old pc and putting the new ones it's a success, windows is installed and the first thing i did is install firefox with mouse gestures :D, now i'm just formating the hard drive and gonna install Half life 2 to see how it looks in high settings.

Thanks for all the people that helped me I never tought i would be here *tear* :p
