G1 assassin issue

[denham]

terribly sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but im hoping someone can help.

Hey guys so ive decided to build a new computer as a side hobby, this isn't the first time i have built a computer however this is the first build i have done with water cooling.

Everything in the system is wired up but when i try boot nothing happens except 2 led's on my motherboard (g1 assassin) directly under my ram illuminate, one green and one orange. The g1 assassin manual says that it is the north bridge loading/ ram loading. I have swapped the ram to see if that would work but still nothing.

The one thing i have thought of is that the cpu fan socket on the motherboard has nothing plugged into it as i have installed a water cooling kit, could this cause the mobo to not boot?

I'm pretty sure its just me making a rookie mistake somewhere causing this to happen and i hope its not a hardware failure.

thanks for any help in advance.

Check that all of the motherboard standoffs are in the right place (so there is no shorting), then ensure all power connectors are in correctly. Try taking the CPU out and checking there are no bent pins. Also try booting with only one stick of ram in the socket, one graphics chip, one HD.

Have you made sure the CPU power connector is in?
