I have just built my first PC and the thing I feared most has happened - I plugged it in and nothing happened.
The case is a Zalman HD160+ and the motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA785GT-UD3H.
When I first plugged it in and switched on the power at the back the LCD panel at the front lit up. When I pushed the power button at the front one of the back fans briefly spun round for a couple of seconds and then stopped. Nothing else happened.
I checked all my connections and realised I hadn't connected the 2X4 12v power cables to the motherboard so I presumed this was the problem. But after I connected these and tried again I got exactly the same results.
Is my motherboard dead? If so is there any way to confirm this before getting a replacement?
