First time compy building with me dad, and we are now at a dead end, got all the parts etc. put it together, powered it on. Nothing. The MoBo diagnostic says FF (meaning attempting boot) but nothign happens.... stripped the connections down from the MoBo so there just the floppy drive, one IDE cable to the hard drive as Master, disconnected all the front paneling jumpers, re-seated the memory, re-seated the gfx card and have pretty much run out of ideas, it still wont go bast attempting boot.... any help please? its just getting depressing now
Cheers

... everything fires up properly by the sounds of it, and the fans move.
, but then I restarted it and the diagnostic display changed to C1, so i reseated the memory again, plugged the power back in and it fired itself up (which it didnt do before) and then after a couple more resets it fired itself up.... it went all the way through to complaining I had no OS, things are back on track.... thanks for the help guys... this system is a christmas present to some good friends of the family, you guys have saved some big stress on getting it setup on time. Cheers.
