Thread: New build M4A79T Deluxe won't start

Have just built up a new machine using the M4A79T Deluxe but i am unable to get it to boot. The lights come on for the on-board power and reset switches but when either are pressed i don't get any response, no fan spin no diag bleeps.

I'm using a Cooler Master Silent Pro M 500w PSu and 4gb Cosiar Dominator DDR3 ram.

Does anyone have any suggestions that might help me out?

Are you sure everything is connected properly? The power and reset diode should not be on all the time. The motherboard might be shorted, try it outside the case (put it flat on a phonebook or something).
