got to have more details.what motherboard.have you tryed clearing cmos,is the board shorted to the case,will it run outside the case with only ram and video card installed.is the cpu fan plugged into the cpu fan header on the motherboard.its possible one of the standoffs is shorting.take the motherboard out of the csae and hook it all up on a table with only 1 stick of ram and the video card ,mouse and keyboard only.see if it will boot into bios.you need to start here and work up from this point.
