Well I can safely assume I'm not the only one here who had a box with lights as soon as the power switch was turned on. I had finally got all the damn parts together and being cautious as possible. All the things that were concivable when doing this were checked.

When I pressed the power button the liquid cooling was running exceptionally, but nothing was happening. I attached the chipset fan back on the jumper, nothing happened. After a few weeks I even went so far as to buy a new cpu. When I used the retail cpu's fan on the cpu jumper and when the chipset was running....not even that was working. I'm thinking of putting the fan and heatsink on, and removing the mofo from the case to be sure the case isnt shorting out the mofo.

So whats the problem? This cant be a BIOS issue, I did the CMOS jumper thing already...any ideas?

Oh and heres my hardware:

AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2.0ghz 266mhz FSB
Corsair XMS RAM 512mb 400mhz bus
Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra Black Edition
Koolance PC2-C water cooled.

My hard drive, floppy, video card, and burner are on the pc Im using right now....transplant kind of...
