Did you switch the power supply on?

Are the front panel switches connected to the correct mainboard pins?

try disconnecting the power switch and shorting the two pins with a screwdriver.

Hook 'em up one at a time, you probably had a shroted LED or a jamed switch.

Now the only problem I have is I cant get sound. I loaded the cd that came with the mobo and that didn't solve the problem.

Well if the drivers are installed, make sure windows volume control isnt on mute, nor are the speakers on mute or turned off.

Unplug and replug the speakers. If still nothing, you may have to select your audio output device. Also, get the latest drivers and never use any of the drivers on that CD again...they are all outdated by the time those cds are printed.
