My first check would be all the connections, especially the 24 pin power to the MB. Then check the switch connections to the MB, the case switches. If the led on the MB is lit then there should be power from the PSU to the MB but it can happen that the connections are not good or the switch does not actually switch the system on.

Second, if you did check all that, remove all connections and expansion cards except the video card. You only need the vid card, one stick of ram and one HD or CD/DVD rom with the boot disc to boot up. If it turns on and runs with just those components start adding one thing at a time till you find the bad part... there are lots of things that can go wrong! Trust me, it is easy to miss or have something happen.

Did you hook up your power and reset buttons backwards?

CTA, I live in Surrey and am at my office in Langley right now (Saturday 9:15am). If you PM me, we can meet if you want for me to doublecheck your install. Just offering if you need a hand.

Did you test everything before installing in the case?

like the ones above said, check your connections, and oddily enough make sure your board is mounted securely, also make sure the cpu is set right




The connection panel... and if u have the asus connection thing this is easy

Hmm, do the fans spin up for a half a second or so and then turn off? If they do, then you probably have a dead PSU. Oh, and does anyone know where to get a speaker for the mobo? It seems the P5Q boards don't have buzzers, therefore no POST.. Which is kinda scary sometimes.

Which Bios version are you using?. The P5Q Deluxe and 45nm Quads are known to have severe instability issues with the newer bios versions, try flashing with 0703 or 0803. Check the ASUS forums ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Forum- 1103/1201/1306 BIOS Issues with C2D QUAD
