My computer parts arrived today, and after a few hours installing it, it won't boot

Here are the specs

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804 - Retail


And a 8800gt evga superclocked


Any ideas

I get a red light with a green light next to the atx 24-pin connector

Anything I can try, I havent built a new system for 6 years so I might be missing something
 
Just tested it outside of the case, only the psu/mobo/1 ram stick/videocard

Same story

Any tips on troubleshooting?

Please help :(
 
OK, back to basics.
You need to have connected:
ATXPWR (20/24-pin)
ATX12V1 (4/8-pin)
PCI-E power cable to 8800GT
rpm signalling fan to CPUFan header

I would troubleshoot with only 1 DIMM installed although I don't think that it's a problem with RAM voltage.

Do you have a speaker connected to the mobo?
If so any beeps?
No signal to monitor at all?

I believe that 1 or 2 people have had problems with 8800GTs so do you have access to another PCI-E or PCI gfx card?
 
About the ATX12V1, I see that connector in the motherboard but I cannot find a 8 pin connector in my powersupply

If I connect the ATXPWR 20 + 4 PIN I also need the ATX12V1 ?

If so then that is the problem, guess this COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power RP-650-PCAR ATX from factor 12V V2.01 650W Power Supply - Retail is old??
 
SIgh, I only got this power supply because I could add it when I was choosing my cpu/mobo on newegg on the lower menu. I figured it would be compatible. Guess I figured wrong

I really wanted to game today :( Any options for quick fix? an adapter ?
 
This might help ya! Molex x 4-pin mobo connector.:D

Hah finally got a connector but now the harddrive that I ordered came fried

I want to go Office space on that damn seagate barracuda

Usually how long does newegg take to reship me the product afteer I rma it?

absolutely, the CPU draws heavily on the ATX12V1.
