Did you happen to be sure your hookups from your case to the MOBO are connected correctly?
 
Ok, now Im not trying to make you sound stupid, but I have to start with the obvious.

Are you sure you plugged the power switch into the motherboard, and into the correct plug? double check.

Make sure the power supplies main switch is turned on, and make sure that its on the correct voltage.

Make sure that the power cables are all snuggly pushed into there slots.
 
heh, make sure the button on the back of the psu is on the _ not on the circle
 
yes it is pluged into the wall and the mobo conectors are in right because the little light on the mobo is on. im not an idiot:D
 
any one its been like a month since the computer has worked im about to co to compusa and have them look at it.
 
have you reset the bios lately...some mobo's won't power on with the short jumper in the short position.
 
Are you sure the case isn't grounded anywhere it isn't supposed to be? (read: mobo contacts touching the case)
 
first try reseating the mobo.

Check your mobo manual again to see if you put the on plug in the right spot, maybe you lookd at it upside down, idk.

Try looking at where the wires hook into the front of the case by the power button, see if everything is attached good.

Lastly If that dosnt work I would buy a new nf7;/ I have a nf7 on one of my computers and I have no problems with it.

I wouldnt imagine that abit could send you a mobo w/ a battery w/o juice.
