that's the biggest problem, my friend pluged it in and I have no clue where they all go. My mother board is an Intel Desktop board D945GVSR,
ftp://download.intel.com/design/motherbd/sr/C4681101.pdf that's the manual.

Did he play a belated April Fools day joke on you?? I'd do what DDP suggests, and then focus immediately on the power switch connection to the mobo; the characters and pins are very small and require attention to detail when connecting them. It's very possible he mis-wired one of those switches from the front of the case as DDP pointed out; get out those eye glasses and magnifiers and have at it.....keep us posted.

I'm positive its not an april fools joke. I'll get a magnifying glass and go through all the connectors. I'm pretty sure it's not the power supplies fault cuz I plugged my old psu in and it still doesn't work. I'm thinking it might be the front panel plugs that is in the wrong place.

so download the manual & also make certain the cmos jumper is in the correct position as on 1 of those intel boards you have to remove the jumper so can configure the bios, found that out on a customer's board

cmos jumper is used to clear the cmos of the motherboard of time, date, drives types, settings & whatever. so download the manual as it will tell you things you need to know. that motherboard isn't new is it??

Also, I have seen that flipping the power sw do the trick, but I would pull the battery and use the jumper to clear the CMOS, in this case.

Sounds like the wire(s) to the power switch maybe broken.
Remove the power switch wires from the header, and momentarily short them out using a jumper to simulate the power switch and see if it comes on.
If you don't feel confident doing that, then just plug the reset button onto the location for your power switch and try it that way.
Using the reset button on the case as the power switch.
If it powers up then, the switch/wires are damaged somewhere, you will need a DVM to check which is at fault.................
...............PIO is no go, DMA all the way...............

cpu fan is attactched to the motherboard. I tried switching the power sw with the reset sw still nothing. Havn't tried taking the battery out yet will do that later. I read that document and I'll try the computer with my old psu. The little red tag behind my psu is set to 115v
