attempt at a build failing badly Hi all. Im building a comp using old parts and the new parts are a new hard drive and thing that holds all the parts together. Its all been put together but its not starting. I think i havent conected the motherboard too the On button correctly. my mobo is a 754pin 1869 agp. I think its the conection from front pc shell to mobo thats failing me. Or it could be all dead and a waste of my time and money .
Do you have to plug the usb things in or just need the power pins on the mobo. I done this before by trying and it worked but not this one. Can you guide me in the right direction please with connections. please. was thinking two comps would be good for online play when my brother comes round. please help me with these pins as if i get these in right and if it dosent start other parts must be broke.

Hmm.. well you can't simply throw old and new parts to gether and have a computer. You've got to make sure everything is compatible.. processor, ram, video card, etc.
Check your motherboard guide on how to connect the power button to the pc. There is usually 2 or 3 small wires that come out from the case and connect to the leds, power, main power, and reset button.
You don't really need anything plugged in except the motherboard, psu, and case power button.

What exactly happens? Does every component receive power for a brief moment, and then just shut off? Or is it just the psu fan? Have you made sure that the components are installed properly, and that the mb is correctly grounded to the case?
