New build not POSTing

[jasonstjohn]

Just assembled a new build today, but I tried to start it up and it is not POSTing and we're not getting video. The case lights and fans all turn on.

There is a potential for it being damaged statically because some idiot friends of mine could not keep their hands off the hardware. Any ideas?

Build:

Q6600
Asus P5Q Pro
2x2GB G SKILL DDR2
Visiontek radeon hd 4870
Corsair 750W PSU

Reset your CMOS and see if it posts. Always something you need to do when your rig is fresh built.

Reset the CMOS and everything is like before...no POST, no video, etc.

The guy I'm building for also has one of those light up Razer keyboards and it isnt lighting up either. :-/

Is the motherboard mounted in the case?
If it is make sure the mb is not grounding itself out.
Try taking the motherboard out of the case and setting on the box it came in.

I would check all of your motherboard connections especially the cpu power cable.
