I've just built my son a pc and when I switched it on, A green light came on the board and the cpu fan just moved a split-second, then nothing.

I'm a total noob to all this.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

thanks

disconnect all cards, ram, all cables to drives to see if still a problem as sounds like a short to ground issue.
