Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 95W 2.4Ghz 1600FSB OME

XFX 9600GT XXX Alpha Dog 516Gb DDR3 dual DVI TV PCI-E XXX

OCZ 600SXS StealthXStream PSU

Absolute HD Supreme 11 sound card came with GVC

Corsair 2048MB TwinX XMS2 8500 DDR2 EPP SLI Ready Dominator 2x1024

All now out the case with the monitor mouse and keyboard linked.
All I get is the onboard switchs for reset cmos and restart to light up and the sound card lights up and nothing else any help

Pull the sound card...to eliminate it...as a possible source...
Recheck all your connections...especially the case wiring...re-seat the video card...make sure the P/S switch on the back...is in the On Position...then try it again...:)

If anything lit up, the PSU's switched on.
dav - you say nothing happens when you press the power button, do the fans not even twitch? If nothing happens at all you may have the power switch incorrectly wired.

Ok I have had the MB out on a plastic board and only the VGC the Ram and the PSU fitted then tried it with the monitor and keyboard and mouse but all I get is the switches lighting up no LEDs and no activity
In he case no activity
used a screw driver to short the 2 pins that start the pc but no joy

Can you try it in the case with the power switch connected as per the manual?

I HAVE IT LIKE THAT NOW AND MADE SURE ALL CON'S ARE OK.
WHEN POWER IS PUT ON NO SURGE OF ACTIVETY AND ONLY THE CMOS RESET AND RESTART BUTTENS FLASH AND THE SOUND CARD.
I HAVE TRIED IT WITH THE BARE MIN OUT THE CASE AND IN BUT NO JOY.
ALL NEW PARTS AND NEVER GOT PASSED THE POWER UP STAGE.
FROM THE FIRST POST IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE PARTS?
I AM OK WITH BUILDING THIS BUT IF THERE IS A FAULTY PART OR WRONG PART I AM NOT SURE ABOUT HOW TO FIND IT.
aLL PARTS CAME IN BOXES WITH NO DAMAGE.

No All capitals please, it's rude.
If nothing 'physical' happens, fans spinning up etc, the PSU isn't activating the 12V rail, so it can only be a faulty PSU or board. Try the PSU first as its more likely to be the problem, and more easily changed.

If that's where you bought it from then yes. Good luck with that though, MicroDirect are usually pretty troublesome with returns.

@dav6
Before you return the other P/S...especially if you have to mail it in...Do you have access to another P/S...to check if that is the problem?..
